Mootral is a British Swiss agro-technology company that has come up with its patented natural feed supplement that significantly reduces methane emissions from ruminants by up to 38%. It claims that cow burps are the single biggest source of methane apart from the oil and gas sector. Mootral argues that its product addresses the above issue. The company teamed up with its flagship UK partner, Brades Farm, to provide them with Mootral for their cattle. Mootral has also earned carbon credits from enteric methane reduction from cattle, averaging >70 € per credit. The company intends to use this to finance the cost of its ruminant and help governments around the world reduce their emission targets. It has also received support from the Swiss Climate Foundation and featured in press entities such as CNN and Sky News. The company states it will use the investment to reach 10% of today's almost 1 billion industrialised cattle by 2030, hire key personnel and develop more climate-friendly solutions.
