Enteric Fermentation
In Spain, the sub-sector Enteric Fermentation (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 17.22 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 6% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (15.79 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have increased by 9.1%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 15.56 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 36.8% of Agriculture emissions in Spain.
