This calculation showed that highest GHG emission in livestock subsector comes from beef cattle. subcategory has largest population West Sumatera contributed 2.38% and 2.35% of total cattle Indonesia 2020 2021, respectively. study aims to evaluate gap 2021. The was Tier 2 method. used data provided Statistic Agency's report. Sources this enteric fermentation (CH4) manure management (CH4, direct indirect N2O). Results 2021 consisted 0.446 0.453 Gg ton CO2−eq, While 0.106 0.108 There is a 1.56% difference between increment 21.08% Mentawai Islands Regency, while lowest decrement 12.38% Bukittinggi municipality.
