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.
The Silicon Valley immigration priority was not the topic I thought would explode and fracture the tenuous MAGA alignment with the New Big Tech group represented by Elon Musk and his billionaire network. However, we learn more every day.
