Blue Ocean Barns
On a mission to solve the global climate impact of cattle by working with farmers and food companies to commercialize and radically scale the production and use of our unique feed ingredient
About Blue Ocean Barns
Blue Ocean Barns is a startup that operates in the sustainable agriculture market, offering a unique product called Brominata. This product is a red seaweed-based supplement that helps cows retain more energy from their feed, reducing the amount of gas they burp into the atmosphere. This is significant because these burps contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. By reducing these emissions, Blue Ocean Barns is helping to combat climate change.
Read full description
The company's clients are primarily farmers and corporations in the food industry who are committed to sustainability. Farmers benefit from the increased energy availability in their cattle's feed, which can potentially lead to increased productivity. Corporations, on the other hand, can support sustainable practices and contribute to the "just transition" model of sustainability, which aims to balance economic stability and environmental responsibility.
Blue Ocean Barns' business model is straightforward. They sell Brominata to farmers who add it to their cows' feed. The company is planning to deploy Brominata at select farms in 2022, with no additional capital equipment or worker training required, making it an accessible solution for farms of all sizes.
The company generates revenue through the sale of Brominata. Given the increasing focus on sustainability in the agriculture and food industries, there is significant potential for growth in this market.
