Join Madelaine Kastberg, Cheese Category Buyer at Dagab (Axfood), and Marcus Jansson, CEO of Gäsene Mejeri, as they visit a farm working with Volta Greentech to reduce the climate impact of Garant Hushållsost using methane-reducing feed additives.

Through a Swedish innovation project within the food company Orkla, tests are now being conducted on how more climate-friendly beef can be used in Swedish food production. First up is a test production at Orkla’s facility in Eslöv of 2,000 packages of Felix meatballs, made with meat from animals that have eaten Volta Greentech’s algae feed supplement. The supplement reduced the animals' methane emissions by 80 percent per day when included in the feed.

Methane emissions from cows and other ruminants make up a significant portion of greenhouse gases from Swedish agriculture. A collaboration has now begun on a methane-reducing feed supplement, aiming to create a cheese with a lower climate impact, set to reach the market this spring. The project involves the entire food chain, from Fröstorp farm and Gäsene dairy to Volta Greentech and the retail group Axfood.

The Swedish food company Protos and Volta Greentech are scaling up their long-standing collaboration with methane-reducing feed additives, with the ambition to make Smak av Gotland the most climate-friendly choice of beef on the retail market in Sweden.

“Our ambition is to be at the forefront of sustainability, and with this launch, we simply make it easier for our customers to eat more sustainably. That is why Lome Beef is highly interesting to us,” says Shoan Etemadi, CEO of Hemköpskedjan.

Volta Greentech announces a pivotal shift towards their groundbreaking 2nd generation Lome™ feed additive, cutting the cost for GHG reductions by 10x. With nearly 100 million SEK already secured in total for development and commercialization, Volta Greentech aims to deliver Lome™ (gen2) at scale to customers by 2026, pending EU regulatory approval. With global cow emissions totaling 4 billion tons of CO2e annually, demand is soaring. Built on new R&D breakthroughs, Lome™ offers a low-cost, scalable solution, vastly outperforming Volta Greentech’s previously algae-based product.

We are happy to work with Norrsken and Spotify on How We Fix This - a new podcast series hosted and narrated by Alexander Skarsgård. From cow farts to cocoa-free chocolate to carbon-free cement, this series spotlights eight pioneering startups - selected from the Norrsken Impact/100 list - and their innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

In a unique pilot project between the biotech company Volta Greentech, the grocery chain Coop, and the food company Protos, the world’s first methane-reduced beef is now being introduced. Starting June 30 2022, the meat will be available in selected Coop stores.
