Overview

ZELP is an agricultural technology company committed to creating a sustainable future for agriculture, promoting human and environmental health, animal welfare, and social and economic equity. Our focus is to develop and scale technology that measures and mitigates methane emissions in the livestock industry. Today, 1.3 billion people rely on this industry for livelihoods and food security; it is a major source of methane emissions globally. The deployment of our technologies on a global scale has the potential to drive half the global methane reduction needed by 2030 and to transform the beef and dairy industries. ZELP was an inaugural winner of the Terra Carta Design Lab and has received funding and support from the European Commission, Innovate UK, The Global Methane Hub and the Gates Foundation.
