Methane emissions produced by cattle worldwide 1990-2020
Global methane (CH4) emissions produced by enteric fermentation in cattle were estimated at 73 million metric tons in 2020. Annual emissions from cattle have risen by more than 10 percent since the turn of century. One reason for this increase has been thegrowing demand for beef around the world.
Enteric fermentation is a part of the digestive process in animals such as cattle, sheep, and buffalo. This process produces methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas. Enteric fermentation is one of the main sources of agriculture emissions.
