10% is a smaller part of total emissions than transportation or electricity generation, but it's still pretty significant chunk. If we can reduce emissions related to beef somehow that would be a step forward.
I'm skeptical of that Dearman engine article. It doesn't really explain where the energy comes from. We already know how to do carbon neutral energy and transportation: use solar/wind/hydroelectric/nuclear and battery-electric vehicles. It's just that the infrastructure is expensive and takes time to build. It's also not treated as an urgent priority in many countries. Some because they can't afford it, and some (i.e. the United States) our political system makes it very easy for a minority to block things.
