Sea Forest and Teys Australia seaweed feed deal: what it means for cattle methane emissions

Sea Forest has signed a distribution deal with Teys Australia, one of the world's largest beef processors, to supply its methane-reducing seaweed supplement to cattle producers in Australia and New Zealand. The supplement targets enteric methane from livestock, a major source of agricultural emissions, and the deal moves the product from pilot trials into a commercial supply chain with a major meat company. The deal matters because it gives a low-carbon feed additive a real route to scale. But questions remain about cost per animal, consistent supply of the seaweed, and whether Teys will tie purchases to verified emission reductions. For anyone tracking agricultural carbon markets, this is worth watching. If the processor pays for measured methane cuts rather than just buying a supplement, it would be a rare example of enteric methane mitigation at commercial scale.
