Livestock units and methane emissions

This map layer shows the number of livestock units (GVE) and the methane emissions in kiloton per year per sub-area from the Zuid-Hollands Programma Landelijk Gebied. The calculation of the LU is based on the animal numbers specified in the Basic Registration Agricultural Companies (BAB) and a multiplication factor specific to the animal group concerned. More information about these factors can be found on the following page: https://geo.zuid-holland.nl/kaart/documentatie-bab/#berekening-grootvee-eenheden-gve Methane emissions have been calculated on the basis of a publication by Wageningen University and Research (WUR): https://research.wur.nl/en/publications/scenariostudie-naar-doelen-en-doelrealisatie-in-het-kader-van-het
