Enteric fermentation

In France, the sub-sector Enteric fermentation (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 38.21 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 8.9% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (47 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 18.7%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 27.03 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 45.9% of Agriculture emissions in France.
