Canada to Offer Incentives to Beef Cattle Farms to Lower Methane Emissions

Methane emissions are more than 28 times more potent at trapping atmospheric heat than carbon dioxide, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

In 2021, 31 percent of the total methane emissions produced by Canada came from agriculture, most of which were from the fermentation of food in the stomachs of beef and dairy cattle, released into the air through their burps — a process called enteric methane emission, a press release from the Government of Canada said.
