Tier 1 enteric fermentation emission factors for cattle by region (kg CH4/head/yr). Regional cattle factors are Table 10.11 in both the 2006 Guidelines and the 2019 Refinement; Table 10.10 holds the non-cattle species (see ipcc_2019_enteric_ef_other).

Usage

ipcc_2019_enteric_ef_cattle

Format

A tibble with region, category, ef_kg_head_yr.

Predominantly the 2006 Guidelines, Vol 4, Ch 10, Table 10.11, not the 2019 Refinement's Table 10.11 (Updated). Verified against both published tables:

  • 2006 values, differing from the 2019 Refinement: North America 128/53 (2019: 138/64), Western Europe 117/57 (126/52), Eastern Europe 99/58 (93/58), Latin America 72/56 (87/56), Asia 68/47 (78/54), Africa 46/31 (76/52), Middle East other cattle 31 (60).

  • Matching neither edition: Oceania dairy 90 (2006: 100; 2019: 93), Middle East dairy 63 (2006 groups Africa and the Middle East at 46; 2019: 76), Indian Subcontinent 68/47 (2006: 58/27; 2019: 73/46).

  • The "Global" fallback row (80/47) appears in no IPCC table in either edition. Assumed, unverified. The 2019 Refinement also moved buffalo into this table (78 Western Europe, 68 Eastern Europe / Latin America / Asia, 81 Africa, 67 Middle East, 85 Indian Subcontinent), which is not reflected here. Tracked in whep#601.
