The finding is part of a long line of research on the methane-busting powers of red algae, and now it reveals the climate benefits of this abundant seaweed in grazing cows, the most gaseous of all.

The energy is derived from methane gas produced by the manure of the 800-plus dairy cows that inhabit Haubenschild Farms located near Princeton. Richard Huelskamp, a scientist with the University’s ...

Recently, it took part in a research trial with Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in Boothbay, Maine to see if feeding seaweed to cows could reduce the methane they produce. Preliminary ...

yet the North-South gap in methane intensity remains wide. For dairy cows in South Asia, enteric emissions per pound of milk in 2015 were nearly four times as high as in North America and western ...
