As part of his Earth Fund grants, Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, has awarded a £7.3 million grant to a UK-based project aimed at reducing cattle emissions through a potential new vaccine to reduce methane-producing microbes in cows’ stomachs.
Rather than developing a vaccine, the project, led by the Pirbright Institute and the Royal Veterinary College, utilises biotechnology to understand how a vaccine could reduce methane emissions from livestock by over 30%.
The research focuses on identifying and characterising specific antibodies needed to target methane-producing microbes in the gut of calves. By understanding the precise antibody responses required, the project aims to provide a clear path forward for vaccine development, reducing the trial-and-error aspect and focusing on targeted, high-resolution immunology.

“We’re not developing a methane vaccine per se, but rather defining what a successful vaccine needs to achieve,” said Prof John Hammond, immunogenetics group leader at Pirbright Institute. “By understanding the precise antibody responses required, we can provide a clear path forward for vaccine development.”
The grant of £7.3 million to the Pirbright Institute to investigate how the immune system can be hijacked to attack beneficial microbes in the gut is a drop in the ocean for Bezos. In July 2024, Benzinga reported that Bezos, with a net worth of US$216.5 billion in 2024, is the second richest person on Earth. In 2023, based on the increase in his net worth, Bezos earned around $191.78 million per day or an obscene $7.99 (£6.3 million) per hour.
The Pirbright project, which is a little more than what Bezos earned in an hour during 2023, is one of several initiatives funded by the Bezos Earth Fund. In March 2024, Bezos Earth Fund vice chair Lauren Sánchez announced the Fund’s commitment to establish Bezos Centres for Sustainable Protein as part of the Bezos Earth Fund’s $1 billion commitment to food transformation. “Sustainable protein” is “plant-based lab-grown meats” or, in short, fake food.
And we can expect a lot more climate nonsense to come from Bezos. In 2020, he established the Bezos Earth Fund following a £7.7 billion ($10 billion) pledge to combat climate change. With this money, Bezos intends to fund scientists, activists, non-profits and other groups “fighting the devastating impact of climate change.”
Why does he need activists to “fight” climate change? It will be because the excuse he is using for his £7.7 billion investment – a climate change crisis – is not based on facts.
