Methane emissions from agriculture, 2019. Methane (CHa) emissions are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalents [70] Global methane budget. Methane emissions from livestock are the number one contributor to agricultural greenhouse gases globally. Livestock are responsible for 14.5% of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.
Denmark will tax livestock farmers for the greenhouse gases emitted by their cows, sheep and pigs from 2030, the first country in the world to do so as it targets a major source of methane ...
Livestock operations are responsible for about 18% of greenhouse gas emissions globally and over 7% of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. [24] Methane is the second most concentrated greenhouse gas contributing to global climate change, [25] with livestock contributing nearly 30% of anthropogenic methane emissions. [26]
Mitigation options for reducing methane emission from livestock include a change in diet, that is consuming less meat and dairy. [103] A significant reduction in meat consumption will be essential to mitigate climate change, especially as the human population increases by a projected 2.3 billion by the middle of the century.

The tax, expected to be approved by Denmark’s parliament later this year, will amount to 300 krone ($43) per tonne (1.1 ton) of CO2-equivalent emissions from livestock from 2030, rising to 750 ...
Most new employers in the state of Indiana start with a 2.5% unemployment tax rate unless your company is a construction company, successor company, or a government entity, at which point your tax rate is 2.53%, .5% to 9.4%, 1.6% respectively.

A 2016 bill, SB 1383, tasked the agency with adopting rules for reducing methane emissions in dairy operations and in livestock manure management. But the legislation also instructed CARB to do so ...
An emissions tax on greenhouse gas emissions requires individual emitters to pay a fee, charge, or tax for every tonne of greenhouse gas, [8] while an energy tax is applied to the fuels themselves. In terms of climate change mitigation , a carbon tax is not a perfect substitute for an emissions tax. [ 94 ]
