Compared to 1990 (2.49 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 61.6%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 0.84 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 36% of Agriculture emissions in Latvia.
