"Today's livestock farms are high-tech facilities where ammonia is already removed from the air. As such, removing methane through existing air purification systems is an obvious solution,"

sounds like it will be something they can just add to existing systems at big livestock operations, and the removal rate is pretty high

I feel like this will cause a huge "rebound effect" (not sur if it's the correct translation)

You could elaborate your point instead of using a word you're unsure about.

Sure, reducing the methane emissions of a few farms might lead to an increased consumption of meat. Which would annihilate the positive effect brought by such innovation.
