Cows are known to be a major source of methane emissions, primarily due to their burping habits. This has raised concerns about their impact on climate change.
Recent research published in the journal Science identifies a newly discovered organelle that produces hydrogen. This organelle has the potential to significantly lower the methane output from cows.
The findings, released on May 3, 2026, could pave the way for innovative approaches to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, addressing a critical environmental challenge.
