Tracking business magnate Bill Gates’s investments has become something of a spectator sport in recent years, and there is no shortage of reasons why.
Gates is an astute businessman and if he believes in something enough to put his money behind it, there must be some upside. To that end, Benzinga keeps tabs on Gate’s market moves and has found that one of his latest investments could go a long way toward alleviating the climate crisis.
Windfall Bio is a startup that is taking dead aim at methane emissions from large cattle farms, which is one of the main sources of methane in the atmosphere. Climate scientists are concerned about methane emissions because they are major contributors to the climate crisis.
By some estimates, methane gas is nearly 90% more potent than carbon dioxide as a driver of global warming, and nearly 25% of global methane emissions come from growing food. This will account for nearly half a degree of global warming by 2050. Windfall Bio seeks to solve this problem uniquely. The methane that comes from large farms and cattle is usually found in waste products.
