Decarbonization Avenue : Reducing Emissions from Livestock

Compilation of greenhouse gas emission and removal factors in Brazilian livestock

Brazil | 2021-12

The research provides data on GHG emissions and removals for the different enteric fermentation processes of small and large ruminants, monogastric organisms, as well as the determination of GHG flows in areas where fish, oysters and mussels are grown. The Compilation was then organized considering the large groups of animal production, resulting in the following chapters: I. Small Ruminants (sheep and goats); II. Large Ruminants (cattle and buffaloes); and III. Non Ruminants (poultry, pigs, fish and bivalve mollusks), in which the results obtained and implemented in different projects and initiatives are presented.
