Field burning of agricultural residues

In France, the sub-sector Field burning of agricultural residues (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 0.02 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 0.005% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (0.1 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 78.6%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 0.03 Mt CO₂eq by 2050.

What is part of this sector? Emissions from the combustion of cereal straw and residual wood from vineyards in open fields.

This sub-sector accounts for 0.025% of Agriculture emissions in France.
