Behind the innovation is rigorous science. Here is how our methane-reducing technology actually works, broken down step by step.

Our co-founder and CEO, Fredrik Åkerman, presented initial pilot results at AstraZeneca’s Gothenburg headquarters during the opening ceremony for their new campus restaurant, Galleri Curie.

Since announcing Lome in 2024, we’ve kept its technical specs under wraps. Today, that changes. In this post, we’re diving into the science and engineering powering Lome.

Volta Greentech has raised 18 MSEK (~€1.7M) in a round led by Axel Johnson to commercialize its next-generation feed additive that cuts methane emissions from cattle and lowers the climate impact of food production.

As we work with full focus and determination toward the commercial launch of our next-generation feed additive, Lome®, we are proud to share a milestone along the way.

Most food companies have set ambitious climate targets to cut product emissions. Because farms generate roughly 85% of these emissions, companies cannot meet their goals without helping farmers cut on-farm footprints. Sodexo is leading this shift.

Kristian Gustafsson, owner of Gotland’s Skradarve farm, opens up about the farm’s journey, tackling climate challenges, and partnering with Volta Greentech to cut methane through innovative feed additives.

Join Madelaine Kastberg, cheese buyer at Dagab (Axfood), and Marcus Jansson, CEO of Gäsene Mejeri, as they visit a partner farm to Volta Greentech piloting methane-reducing feed additive to lower the carbon footprint of Garant Hushållsost.

2024 has been a transformative year for Volta Greentech, filled with significant developments. In this letter, I would like to share a bit of what we have been up to during the year. Last month, our company turned six years old. For those who have been with us for a while, I think you’ll agree—2024 has been our most transformative year to date.

Ruminant methane accounts for a major share of Swedish agricultural emissions. To tackle this, a cross-industry collaboration is piloting a methane-cutting feed supplement to launch a lower-climate-impact cheese this spring. The initiative unites the entire supply chain: Fröstorp farm, Gäsene dairy, Volta Greentech, and retailer Axfood.

Earlier this week, we gathered a group leaders critical for enabling Sweden to reach climate targets in agriculture. The interest for feed additives is high with high ambitions for deployment to reach 2030 targets.

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.

Volta Greentech announces a pivotal shift towards their groundbreaking 2nd generation Lome® feed additive, cutting the cost for GHG reductions by 10x.

A Swedish innovation initiative at Orkla is trialing climate-smarter beef in local food production. Kicking off the project, Orkla’s Eslöv plant has produced a test batch of 2,000 packs of Felix meatballs made with beef from cattle fed Volta Greentech’s seaweed supplement.

Volta Greentech and food company Protos have partnered to significantly increase the production of more climate-friendly beef in Sweden by using Volta Greentech’s feed supplement, Lome™. The supplement, made from natural algae, reduces the methane emissions of animals by 70–90% per day. The collaboration includes the delivery of algae for up to 1,000 cattle annually over 5 years.

In a world-first pilot, biotech startup Volta Greentech, supermarket chain Coop, and food company Protos are launching the world’s first methane-reduced beef. Starting June 30, it will hit the shelves at select Coop stores.
