MOFarm

Problem and Value Proposition: Within the dairy industry, dairy cows produce 240 tonnes of methane each year, and produce emissions equivalent to driving a truck 2 million miles. Meanwhile, farmers encounter increasing regulation, automation, and rising costs which squeeze margins. MOFarm utilizes metal organic frameworks (MOFs) serving as molecular-scale sponges to capture enteric methane to sell these emissions as renewable natural gas, as we convert the valuable invisible waste of dairy farmers into cash.

Regenerative Approach: Our approach is regenerative as we harness wasted and potent methane gas, which warms our atmosphere approximately 30x as quickly as CO2, into profit for dairy farmers. This touches upon multiple systems as we not only open a new revenue frontier for dairy farmers through utilizing and creating value from this invisible gas, but concurrently reducing methane emissions in our ecosystem.
