A new protein derived from feeding bacteria a methane-laced solution is being used to help feed farm animals and maybe soon, humans. 

Food supplies around the world can sometimes be scarce. Natural resources may not be adequate in some areas with increasing human population or as we are seeing in toleration dictatorships such as North Korea or Venezuela, the scarcity is a combination of situations that lead to the starvation of people.

To create a solid food supply, it takes several ideal solutions: vast and diverse agriculture, available trade and distribution lines, and a steady outlook on economic models. The available space can be limited as it takes significant real estate to raise cattle and maintaining safe landfills – both of which can increase methane and natural gas emissions – which is why we see places like California regulating “bovine enteric fermentation”, a.k.a., flatulence.

What if we could produce a technology that could help reduce the number of cattle needed, to supply protein feed to other farm animals, increase the available space for human consumption farming, all while capturing, reducing, and reusing methane? What if I said, “Natural Gas: The Other White Meat,” for example? Bizarre? Well, you decide.
