Denmark is set to introduce a carbon tax on livestock emissions, with major political parties agreeing on the details for implementation in 2030, according to Climate Minister Lars Aagaard, cited by AFP.

• "We will be the first country in the world that introduces a CO2 tax on agriculture," Aagaard added.
• From 2030, methane emissions caused by flatulence from cattle and pigs will be taxed at a rate of 300 kroner ($42) per tonne of CO2 equivalent, a sum gradually rising to 750 kroner by 2035.
• However, a basic deduction of 60 percent means the real tax rates will be 120 kroner per tonne emitted in 2030 and 300 kroner in 2035.
