Enteric fermentation

In Denmark, the sub-sector Enteric fermentation (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 4.07 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 8.9% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (4.37 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 7.1%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 2.78 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 27.6% of Agriculture emissions in Denmark.
