Environmental Assessment of Danish Pork
Using the attributional approach as prescribed in the PAS 2050, the environmental impact of each kilo of Danish pork leaving the slaughterhouse is estimated to 3.1 kg CO2e in global warming, 243 g NO3e in eutrophication, 56g SO2e in acidification, 21 MJ primary non-renewable energy, and 5.8 m2a in land use, according to Thu Lan T. Nguyen, John E. Hermansen and Lisbeth Mogensen of the University of Aarhus, Denmark.
