By Jim Hoft
Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates believes one of the solutions to combat climate change is to stop cows from burping methane.
Gates invested in a startup company in Australia that is exploring dietary supplements for cows in an effort to contain ‘greenhouse gas emissions.’
“Australian climate technology company Rumin8 has closed Phase 2 of its seed funding round, led by Bill Gates-founded Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV) with participation from Andrew and Nicola Forrest’s agri-food business Harvest Road Group,” according to the company’s news release.
The funding will be used to accelerate the process of bringing Rumin8’s product to market.
