In Portugal, the sub-sector Enteric Fermentation (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 4.06 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 7.2% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (3.94 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have increased by 3.1%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 4.01 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 47.1% of Agriculture emissions in Portugal.
