Securing Funding

Competitive Grant Advantage:

• GreenFeed is the only field-deployable system that measures individual ruminant methane and CO₂ emissions (g/day) with IPCC Tier 3 acceptance.
• Widely used and published by USDA, CSIRO, Teagasc, INRAE, and top global institutions.

Funding Relevance:

• Agencies trust equipment with scientific legitimacy and global validation—a key review criterion in competitive grants like:
  • USDA AFRI
  • Horizon Europe
  • NSERC (Canada)
  • Global Methane Hub
  • FAO & World Bank climate-smart ag funds

Supports Climate-Focused Calls:

• Enables direct quantification of enteric methane reductions for projects aligned with:
  • Global Methane Pledge
  • Carbon credit methodologies (Verra, Gold Standard) USE ENDORSEMENT CARBON CREDIT PAGE IN NOTION
  • Corporate ESG verification programs

Grant Framing Power:

• Projects using C-Lock can clearly state deliverables like:
  • "X% reduction in CH₄ verified by GreenFeed" “CERTIFIED BY C-LOCK INC”
  • "Low-methane phenotypes identified using Tier 3 GHG quantification"

One System, Many Research Questions:

• GreenFeed + SmartFeed + SmartScale support integrated work in:
  • Nutrition (diet trials, feed additives)
  • Genetics (heritability of emissions, EBVs)
  • Health (fermentation, respiratory stress via O₂/H₂ monitoring)
  • Economics (feed efficiency, FCR, RFI)

Leverage for Collaborative Grants:

• Fits seamlessly into cross-disciplinary proposals in ag sciences, environmental studies, economics, and veterinary science.
• Attracts partnerships with NGOs, carbon offset companies, and multinational food firms.

Grant-Worthy Innovation:

• C-Lock's cloud-based AI analytics platform provides automated data cleaning, bias correction, and multi-parameter integration—a major plus in proposals seeking cutting-edge data science.
• Allows PIs to propose dynamic experimental designs and in-season adjustments, enhancing scientific novelty.

Commercial-Ready for Pilot-Scale Trials:

• Funders want scalable impact. C-Lock systems are already deployed globally, with the ability to scale from pilot farms to national programs.
• This makes it easier to pitch real-world relevance and eventual policy or market application.
