Studies released between 2011 and 2017 indicated that beef and cultured beef were the food categories emitting the highest amount of greenhouse gasses, here expressed in carbon dioxide equivalents. In fact, 200 kilocalories of beef produce about 24 kilograms of CO2 eq, while beans' emissions amounted to only one kilogram of CO2eq.
