Manure management

In Denmark, the sub-sector Manure management (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 4.39 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 9.6% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (3.89 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have increased by 12.9%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 1.63 Mt CO₂eq by 2050.

What is part of this sector? Emissions generated during manure storage in the steel system or storage tanks.

This sub-sector accounts for 29.8% of Agriculture emissions in Denmark.
