UC Berkeley · ACC InVenture Prize 2026

Turning farts
into fuel.

27 million tonnes of dairy methane escape into the atmosphere every year. MOFarm captures it — and turns it into a new income stream for farmers.

Vote for CAL How it works

How It Works

Nobel Prize tech.
New income
for farmers.

Metal Organic Frameworks — molecular sponges that just won the Nobel Prize — capture dairy methane at concentrations no other technology can reach. We install it, manage it, and share the profits.

Watch the Simulation

We install it

Retrofits into existing barns. Zero changes to farm routines. Fully managed by MOFarm.

MOFs capture the methane

Molecular sponges trap ultra-dilute emissions drifting through barn air — invisible to every other technology.

Sold as clean energy

Captured methane becomes Renewable Natural Gas, generating verified carbon credits.

Farmers get paid

Revenue flows back as profit share — so every glass of milk you pour carries a little less burden on the planet.

Our Partnerships

We help farmers make more.
From dairy farms straight to you.

Through world-class technical validation, we've secured real customer traction with dairy farms. Technical credibility unlocks commercial relationships.
