In Lithuania, the sub-sector Enteric Fermentation (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 1.72 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 8.5% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (4.83 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 64.4%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 1.41 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.
