With the big concern today (whether valid or not) and the movement to reduce methane gas production and other greenhouse gases as a way to combat so-called climate change, a lot of attention has been ...

UC Riverside study of nearly 100 dairy farms shows systems designed to capture methane from manure are highly effective, ...

Cow burps are a major source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that heats up the planet more than 80 times faster than CO2 when it’s first released. But a new enzyme—from a startup that usually ...

From cow burps to cow manure, it’s stirred up an ongoing debate: just how much methane do cattle emit, and can it be reduced? As global dairy companies set a new goal to trace and reduce emissions, ...
