Manchin-Schumer climate bill takes aim at cow burps and farts
Breanne Deppisch - 1h ago
The Democratic climate and healthcare bill includes $25 million to combat enteric emissions produced by cows and farm animals, largely through burps and manure.
The $369 billion Inflation Reduction Act announced by Senate Democrats this week includes funding to address “enteric methane emissions from ruminants,” including by finding alternatives to the animals’ diets, according to the text of the bill.
Cows and other farm animals produce roughly 14% of human-induced climate emissions.
Agricultural researchers have developed a bevy of new methods for reducing enteric methane emissions, including filtering masks for cow noses and feed additives — both synthetic and natural.
