Emissions of CH4 - from Animal Breeding: Enteric Fermentation (Model Estimations, RIVM-MNP) - geodata_1273

The EDGAR database was to estimate the annual emissions of direct and indirect greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O; CO, NOx, non-methane VOC; SO2), including ozone-depleting compounds (halocarbons) for 1990 on a regional and grid basis.

To meet the aim of establishing the global emissions from both anthropogenic and biogenic sources, a complete set of data would be required to estimate the total source strength of the various gases with a 1x1 degree resolution (altitude resolution of 1 km), as agreed upon in the Global Emissions Inventory Activity (GEIA) of the International Atmospheric Chemistry Programme (IGAC) Methane production from herbivores is a by-product of enteric Emissions of CH4 from animal breeding corresponds to IPCC category 4A.
