Enteric fermentation

In Austria, the sub-sector Enteric fermentation (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 4.32 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 5.5% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (5.09 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 15%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 3.68 Mt CO₂eq by 2050.

What is part of this sector? Emissions produced during digestive processes (burping & flatulence) of farm animals such as cows, pigs, goats, poultry, sheep, horses and deer.

This sub-sector accounts for 50.4% of Agriculture emissions in Austria.
