A Maine marine science lab receives $5 million to further study whether seaweed can reduce methane from cows
Bigelow Laboratory, in Boothbay, ME has been working in recent years on whether the feed supplements can help cut emissions of methane at cattle operations. Methane emissions, which happen when cows belch, contribute to climate change. The laboratory said the grant is from the Shelby Cullom Davis Charitable Fund and it will build on a project that began in 2019.
