Enteric fermentation
In Lithuania, the sub-sector Enteric fermentation (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 1.73 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 8.8% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (4.88 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 64.5%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 1.56 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 40.2% of Agriculture emissions in Lithuania.
