Methane from cow burps and farts is a big contributor to climate change — feeding them seaweed may help. DianaOlick reports.

Methane is a major contributor to global heating, and cows produce a lot of it. There may, however, be a way to reduce all that gas: seaweed.

Methane is more than 80 times as potent as carbon dioxide in warming the atmosphere, according to the, although it breaks down more quickly. And about 25% of all methane is produced directly from fermentation by cows. The burps are actually worse than the farts. While the studies are about reducing methane emissions, research scientists have to be very careful that the seaweed doesn't affect milk production.

While the seaweed feed could be transported to other parts of the country for both beef and dairy cattle, that would run counter to the goal of reducing emissions. Transportation increases the carbon footprint. Instead, Price is looking at ways the different strains of seaweed could be grown in landlocked areas.
