TALLINN, Estonia — Estonian farmers have received tax notices for methane emissions from their cattle, the country’s opposition party, the People’s Union of Estonia, said Thursday.
Livestock produce large quantities of methane gas through belching and flatulence when they digest grass, which accounts for about 15-25 percent of overall gas emissions, according to different estimates.
No other EU country imposes a flatulence tax on farmers.
