T-3A1-A-3 - Enteric Fermentation from Swine

Definition¶

This emission source is defined by the IPCC in E-3A1h - Swine.

Sustainability Category: Amber¶

Amber

This activity currently has moderate climate impact but may be necessary for urban functioning, with a clear pathway to decarbonization. While not yet climate-positive, this activity is actively improving the emissions profile and represents intermediate performance on the path to sustainability.

Transition Elements¶

This activity has the following mitigation options modelled as transition elements:

T-3A1-TE-1 - Shift to Sustainable Healthy Diets

Activity Model¶

This emission source is modelled with Enteric Fermentation as:

TBD.
