Naturally Transforming Low Value Methane To High Value Products

Founded in 2022 with a bold vision:
What if the methane costing businesses millions in compliance and waste could generate profits instead?

The Problem We Solve

Methane: A Hidden Cost and a Missed Opportunity

Methane is 86 times more potent than CO₂ over a 20-year period. For industries worldwide, it represents both a challenge and a massive untapped resource.

Traditional mitigation technologies are expensive, infrastructure-heavy, and don't always provide sufficient return on investment. Methane is treated as waste, when in reality, it holds the potential to be one of the most valuable inputs in the sustainable economy.

Nature’s Answer, Engineered for Scale

Windfall Bio harnesses natural, non-GMO microbes that have been consuming methane for millions of years. Our proprietary "mems" make this process commercially viable across any industry where methane is present.
