Enteric Fermentation
In Ireland, the sub-sector Enteric Fermentation (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 14.49 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 23.4% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (12.32 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have increased by 17.6%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 14.63 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.
