Windfall Bio

Meet Windfall Bio. 🌱 We are an agtech/climate startup focused on transforming dilute methane emissions into value-add products. Join us on our journey as we develop the first-ever solution for capturing and transforming climate-harming methane emissions into living organic fertilizer. According to our CEO and founder, and methane expert, Josh Silverman, “Our methane-to-fertilizer solution is a paradigm shift for climate technologies. We are empowering farmers of all sizes to be a part of the methane solution, improving efficiency and reducing costs while also helping them reduce their reliance on synthetic fertilizers. Windfall’s technology represents a unique win-win-win for farmers, consumers, and climate.” Learn more about us: https://www.windfall.bio/

Windfall Bio has been recognized by TIME’s Best Inventions List for our nature-based, methane-eating microbes that have had an outsized impact on reducing harmful emission across the agriculture industry. But what makes our methane-to-value solution so unique, is its ability to be applied across multiple methane-intensive industries, including oil and gas and waste management, to transform methane emissions into valuable outputs like fertilizer, carbon credits, and progress towards critical sustainability goals.

Methane emissions trap 86x more heat than carbon dioxide over a 20 year period, making it a critical target for reversing climate change. But according to Phys.org, and research from the National Academy of Sciences, unsuspecting sources like environmental microbes have driven a greater volume of methane emissions than fossil fuels between 2020 and 2022: https://lnkd.in/ec6Bkjnp Learn how Windfall Bio is fighting these effects with our mems: https://www.windfall.bio/

Today, Windfall Bio’s director of biology, Judy Su, and head of software, Balwinder K., will join MCJ x SOSV’s Women in Climate Learning Hour to share the ins and outs of #methane abatement using microbes. Tune into the live event at 1:30PM EDT for their expert insights: https://lnkd.in/exx7Jg8g

Methane is 80x’s more potent than CO2 over a 20 year time scale in trapping heat in our atmosphere, but innovation is not keeping pace with the need to mitigate growing emissions. At Windfall Bio, we’re on a mission to change that by leveraging methane-eating microbes to turn harmful emissions into valuable outputs for methane-intensive industries.   Inc.

It’s hard to fight what you can’t see – which is exactly why the Environmental Defense Fund created an interactive map of landfill #methane emissions. Take a look at hotspots across the United States, and learn why the size and scale of methane emissions must be addressed now: https://lnkd.in/egZkbcBW

October is shaping up to be a busy month for Windfall Bio – with our experts, McKenzie Wilson and Kyle Kornack, attending Carbon Unbound West Coast and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s Landfill Methane Measurement Meeting later this month. We’re looking forward to connecting with the methane mitigation sector’s top leaders and sharing more about how our nature-based solution is a crucial component to broader methane removal. Here's more on where we'll be: 🌱 Carbon Unbound West Coast: https://shorturl.at/ZtDlr 🌱 EPA Landfill Methane Measurement Meeting 2024: https://shorturl.at/CEb1J
