Cattle to wear methane-catching face-masks...

They will never be Zero emissions, this is barking mad in my humble opinion and his qualification,( Masters in Information Experience Design at the Royal College of Art ) doesn't sound like wizard methane oxidising or wizard livestock breathing.

And another thing, if you belch up gas from your stomach, it tends to emanate from the mouth (sorry for the technically minded eructate) and if you were going to trap gas at the mouth of a cow, it would probably prevent it from eating.

I think that would be 50k thrown to the wind, but well done him for trying.

This lifted from the Royal College of Art website which is the source of the link.
“ZELP is a methane-reduction device and certification system that aims to reduce the environmental impact of methane emissions caused by the livestock industry. Methane from cows contributes for 44% of the total livestock industry emissions, and is one of the main drivers of global warming. ZELP wants to combat this in three ways.”

The basic premise is based on a lie that cows are responsible for global warming. Consequently how can any of their other assertions be relied on to be anything other than a scam to fleece the unwary?
I guess if the Royal College of Art are experts on carbon capture we have nothing to worry about!

I'll have to amend this and turn carbon to methane. Same principle. Wooly research designed to keep the grants flowing.

No it's not a wind up; an award's just been made (£50k) to see this superb idea promoted; will it happen? :unsure:

I mean they can’t even make their mind up about whether they want to claim 100 years or 20 years, in spite of neither assessing the "issue" properly. Amazing how brainlessness attracts money and therefore justification.
