Agricultural Soils
In France, the sub-sector Agricultural Soils (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 18.77 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 4.5% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (22.4 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 16.2%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 24.46 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 24.1% of Agriculture emissions in France.
