Feed supplement wins at 2026 SEAL Awards
CH4 Global has won two international awards recognising business sustainability and the impacts being made with its proprietary Methane Tamer feed supplement.
Announced in the US, the SEAL Awards (Sustainability, Environmental Achievement and Leadership) recognise the 50 most sustainable companies in the world and the most impactful and innovative environmental initiatives, while also funding research and environmental impact campaigns.
CH4 Global won both the SEAL Environmental Initiative Award for its role in reducing global methane emissions, and the SEAL Sustainable Product Award, for the production of Methane Tamer.
Other major international companies to have been honoured at the 2026 SEAL Awards included British Airways, General Motors, Lenovo, Hitachi Energy and Wolters Kluwer.
CH4 Global founder and CEO Steve Meller said it was an honour to be recognised internationally for the years of effort taken to build a new seaweed industry in South Australia.
“It’s rewarding to be recognised for our efforts to bend the climate curve, alongside other major international organisations taking steps to change, whether it be embedding circular economy principles into their activities, recycling plastics, reducing carbon footprints or building living sea walls,” Meller said.
“By growing and drying Asparagopsis, which is native to southern Australian waters, we’re providing farmers with an opportunity to feed their cows a natural seaweed which has an impact on their emissions.
“Farmers are feeling better about reducing methane emissions, their cows are thriving, and they’ve been able to create a new market for consumers wanting to purchase and consume methane-reduced beef.”
CH4 Global last year opened phase one of its EcoPark, where it is growing and processing Asparagopsis in 10 large-scale cultivation ponds with a combined capacity of two million litres — capable of producing 80 metric tonnes of the seaweed each year.
Beef from cattle consuming Methane Tamer is being sold in butchers and in restaurants in South Australia, with a supermarket chain soon to follow suite.
