In Belgium, the sub-sector Agricultural Soils (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 2.87 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 2.6% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (3.94 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 27.3%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 2.77 Mt CO₂eq by 2030.
What is part of this sector? Emissions caused by the fertilisation of soil (e.g. nitrogen fertiliser, liquid manure, sewage sludge) or by urine and manure from grazing animals.
This sub-sector accounts for 23.4% of Agriculture emissions in Belgium.
