"According to a new study, published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One, the addition of scant amounts of seaweed to the diet of beef cattle reduced methane emissions by more than 80 percent. "
"Food waste often ends up in landfills, where it emits methane, a greenhouse gas 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide in the first two decades after it’s released. The paper sets out a method of producing fuel with this waste in a way that avoids methane emissions and instead transforms it into “volatile fatty acids,” which can then be made into jet fuel.
The fuel can just be used in planes’ engines without modification, according to the study, and it’s compatible with existing energy infrastructure."

Some hopefully good news! I would think the seaweed supplement could be started immediately, while the jet fuel project will still take a while.

How about just not torturing and murdering cows ever again and letting them have their own lives,
What a novel idea!!! No humans seem capable of it en mass.
Eating their way to heart disease, from making choices without geart
Yes how about if the situation were reversed and we were put on trucks and taken to be murdered and then butchered. Lucky for us cows don't eat meat.
