"Taking an unsexy business and making it funny and entertaining.": MoFarm represents UC Berkeley at the ACC InVenture Prize

“Taking an unsexy business and making it funny and entertaining.” That's how judges described MoFarm at the Collider Cup, where they walked away with second place and the People's Choice Award.

Now they're taking it to the national stage.

Born out of ReGenVen's ENGIN 183C class at SCET, MoFarm will represent UC Berkeley at the ACC InVenture Prize, a national collegiate entrepreneurship competition broadcasting live on PBS on March 27th.

Their solution captures methane from dairy farms using Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), a material developed by a Nobel Prize-winning UC Berkeley professor. They convert it to renewable natural gas and pay farmers in the process. Turning a pollution problem into revenue, and proving that climate solutions can work for the people closest to the problem.
