Enteric Fermentation
In Denmark, the sub-sector Enteric Fermentation (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 4.17 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 9.2% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (4.52 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 7.7%. 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 29.3% of Agriculture emissions in Denmark.
