Enteric fermentation
In Belgium, the sub-sector Enteric fermentation (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 4.36 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 4% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (5.37 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 18.9%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 3.76 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 37.6% of Agriculture emissions in Belgium.
