What if cow burps could power the future? Methane emissions from cattle represent one of the largest and most overlooked contributors to climate change, accounting for a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions. Griffin Cherry, Founder and CEO of Planet.Tech, is developing a novel solution that captures methane directly from cow respiration and converts it into renewable energy, creating both environmental and economic value. In this episode of Hardware to Save a Planet, host Dylan Garrett speaks with Griffin about the opportunity to transform livestock emissions into a scalable climate solution. He explains why cow burps are responsible for the vast majority of cattle-related methane emissions, the engineering challenges of building wearable hardware for 1,600-pound animals, and the importance of designing technology that benefits both farmers and the planet.
