Enteric fermentation was responsible for 24 million metric tons of CO₂ equivalent worth of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada in 2021. That year, agricultural greenhouse gas emissions in Canada totaled 54 million metric tons of CO₂ equivalent. The agriculture industry is responsible for a large volume of methane gas, a highly potent greenhouse gas.
