Agricultural Soils
In Denmark, the sub-sector Agricultural Soils (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 4.05 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 8.9% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (5.47 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 25.9%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 3.69 Mt CO₂eq by 2050.
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 28.4% of Agriculture emissions in Denmark.
