=== Cattle emissions ===
According to Australian research, if 2% dry mattter of the [[w:Asparagopsis taxiformis|Asparagopsis taxiformis]] seaweed is added to cattle fodder, the bovines' methane production falls to a tiny fraction (fall of 98.9%) in 72 hrs compared to cattle fed with traditional feed.
