Enteric fermentation

In Spain, the sub-sector Enteric fermentation (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 17.06 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 5.9% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (15.62 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have increased by 9.2%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 15.14 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 38.4% of Agriculture emissions in Spain.
