Methane Emissions
Greenwashing
In 2020, Burger King announced they will sell a more "climate-friendly beef"[1] for a limited time in Austin, Portland, New York and other select locations across the US.
For this initiative, Burger King explains that enteric methane emissions – a potent greenhouse gas – from the cattle are reduced by one third during the time they are fed lemongrass. Overall, this equates to a reduction in enteric emissions of less than 5% when considered over a cattle’s lifespan.[2]
This was falsely described by CNBC as a "low methane diet."[3]
