Frequently Asked Questions
Why does beef have such a large carbon footprint?
Cattle produce methane during digestion and require large amounts of land and feed, giving beef a published emissions factor of around 27 kg CO2 equivalent per kilogram, far higher than chicken or pork.
What is the annual footprint of eating 20 kg chicken, 15 kg beef, and 10 kg pork?
That combination produces about 645 kg of CO2 equivalent a year, with beef alone contributing the majority despite being the smallest quantity.
How much lower is chicken footprint compared to beef?
Chicken published emissions factor, about 6 kg CO2 per kg of meat, is roughly a quarter of beef, making it a lower-footprint animal protein choice.
