Abstract: Hamburgers recently draw huge attention because of their contribution to global warming because of the energy utilised and CO₂ emitted during their production. If beef should be replaced with chicken, the chemical fertilisers should be replaced with their microbial counter parts, and electric power should be generated by combusting the restaurant waste, it will be possible to achieve 60% reductions in both energy utilisation and CO₂ emissions. If the improvements suggested in this study should be implemented globally, in case of production of 1,000,000 t of hamburger menu, 3.24 × 10¹⁰ MJ less energy would be utilised and 7.35 × 10⁹ t less CO₂ would be emitted to the atmosphere.
