Burps, Bottles, and a Bay in Tasmania
by Futoshi Tachino On Tasmania’s east coast, the tides in Spring Bay don’t just bring boats to harbor; they feed a farm. Here, Sea Forest cultivates a native red seaweed, Asparagopsis, that—when fed in tiny amounts to cows—can throttle the methane produced in their stomachs. It’s a climate fix born of the shoreline and aimed squarely at one of Oceania’s knottiest problems: livestock emissions. In both Australia and New Zealand, agriculture is a top emitter, and enteric methane from ruminants is the elephant (really, the cow) in the room. What’s different in Tasmania is that the solution now has a retail label, not just a lab result.

The Next Resource Boom: How Clean Energy Metals Are Shaping Our Future
The world is entering a new kind of resource boom. Unlike the oil rush of the 20th century, this time it’s not about fossil fuels. The next resource boom centers on clean energy metals such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper. These metals are the foundation of renewable energy systems and electric vehicles (EVs). As countries move toward greener technologies, the demand for these materials is rising faster than ever before. This shift represents more than just a change in what we mine. It’s a change in how the world builds its future. From batteries to wind turbines, clean energy metals are becoming the lifeblood of modern economies. This transformation is already reshaping industries, trade routes, and even global power dynamics
