A Natural Climate Solution

Fremantle Seaweed is on a mission to help Australia’s cattle farmers become climate heroes. We cultivate the native red seaweed, Asparagopsis, in Western Australia’s pristine ocean waters and process it into a feed additive that can reduce methane emissions from cattle by over 80%.

Methane is over 28 times more potent than CO₂, and livestock emissions make up 5% of global greenhouse gases - more than aviation, shipping, and rail combined. Our ocean-grown approach offers a lower-cost, scalable alternative to onshore systems, harnessing nature to solve agriculture’s biggest emissions challenge.

Why Invest Now

Proven science: Just 63g/day of Asparagopsis per cow can reduce methane by over 80% demonstrated by CSIRO, James Cook University and MLA.
Commercial traction: First trial with two of WA’s leading Wagyu producers progressing to prove research showing Asparagopsis improves feed efficiency by 7%.
Government backing: Awarded $4M non-dilutive grant, with potential $3M matched funding.
Scalable model: Plans underway for a 3,000ha site capable of servicing 21% of the Australian market.
First mover: Only Australian producer cultivating both species of Asparagopsis entirely in the ocean.

Seaweed for the cows

We grow Asparagopsis seaweed offshore, where it naturally thrives, then process it into a premium, freeze-dried feed additive for cattle. Our ocean-based model is less capital-intensive than onshore tanks or ponds, requires fewer inputs, and reduces contamination risks.

By working in harmony with the ocean, we’re building a sustainable supply chain that supports farmers, delivers measurable emissions reductions, and positions Western Australia as a leader in the global seaweed industry.

A $37B Global Market

The global market for Asparagopsis feed additives is estimated at $37.44B, driven by rising demand for methane reduction in cattle. In Australia alone, the addressable market is $510.49M, with strong adoption potential as exporters, supermarkets, and financiers push for carbon-neutral supply chains.

Consumers are ready with 26% already choosing sustainable beef, and many are willing to pay more for low-emissions products. With limited supply available, Fremantle Seaweed is positioned to fill a critical gap in a rapidly expanding sector.

Built for Scale and Impact

Our fully ocean-based model mirrors the way 98% of the world’s seaweed is grown — reducing costs, inputs, and environmental footprint compared to onshore production. We are the only Australian producer cultivating both Asparagopsis taxiformis and Asparagopsis armata in one location, enabling yearround production.

With proven cultivation methods, unmatched coastal access, and strong industry partnerships, Fremantle Seaweed is positioned to lead the Australian Asparagopsis sector at commercial scale.
