ArkeaBio is a climate-focused biotechnology company developing a next-generation livestock vaccine designed to significantly reduce methane emissions from cattle. Methane produced by ruminant animals is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, and ArkeaBio addresses this challenge at its biological source. The company’s vaccine targets methanogenic archaea in the rumen, disrupting methane production without harming animal health, productivity, or food safety. Backed by leading climate and impact investors such as Breakthrough Energy Ventures and The Grantham Foundation, ArkeaBio combines advanced microbiology, immunology, and livestock science to deliver a scalable, affordable, and practical methane mitigation solution. Field trials are being conducted in partnership with Texas A&M University, validating safety and efficacy in real-world farming conditions. With a long-term vision to decarbonize the global livestock sector, ArkeaBio aims to provide a cost-effective tool that can be adopted across diverse geographies, helping farmers reduce emissions while maintaining economic viability and food security.
