UGM Students Utilize Seaweed and Noni Fruit to Reduce Methane Emissions from the Livestock Sector

The world today is abuzz with the term “global boiling” due to the drastic increase in average temperatures in various parts of the world. Methane emissions are one of the causes of global boiling. The Global Monitoring Laboratory states that methane emissions have been rising since 1980, from 1,620 ppb to 1,933.46 ppb in October 2023. These emissions have the potential to increase global temperatures 28 times more than CO2. About 20-25% of total methane emissions come from livestock activities, specifically through enteric fermentation in the rumen of livestock, which produces methane gas that is then released through feces and burping. read more
