Volta Greentech Secures Strategic Investment for Market Launch
Swedish biotechnology company Volta Greentech announced on March 24, 2026, that it has raised 18 MSEK (approximately €1.7M) in a new funding round led by Axel Johnson Group. The investment will support the upcoming market launch of the company's next-generation methane-reducing feed additive, Lome®, designed for ruminant livestock.
With this latest funding round, Volta Greentech has now raised more than 100 MSEK (approximately €9.5M) since its founding in 2019. The new capital will support continued research and development as well as the commercial rollout of Lome across European markets.
Lome® Technology and Development
Lome represents a significant evolution in Volta Greentech's approach to methane reduction. The company has transitioned from large-scale algae cultivation to replicating the specific methane-reducing properties of algae, creating a more precise and reliable product. This shift enables a more resource-efficient and scalable production process compared to the challenges of scaling algae cultivation.
