Volta, the seaweed miracle from Sweden

Volta Greentech is a Swedish startup that develops a technology based on seaweed powder that can reduce methane emissions from cows up to 90%. Green Start-Up talked with Angelo Demeter, the cofounder of the company, about their vision for a more sustainable future.

VoltaGreentech is a startup from Sweden that put into production a powder based on a specific type of seaweed that mixed with the food given to the cows can reduce the methane emissions by up to 90%. The greenhouse gas methane is 28 times more potent than CO2 at a 100-year time horizon.

“The 1.5 billion cows on the planet produce 5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, twice the amount of the world’s airplanes. We have now shown that our seaweed has the potential to reduce a large part of those emissions. The market potential and the impact we can achieve with this solution is huge,” says Volta Greentech CEO and co-founder Fredrik Åkerman.
