Compared to 1990 (0.4 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have increased by 3.6%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 0.41 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.
This sub-sector accounts for 56.8% of Agriculture emissions in Luxembourg.
