EU Emission Tracker

Urea Application

In France, the sub-sector Urea Application (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 1.1 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 0.3% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (0.86 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have increased by 27.1%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 1.00 Mt CO₂eq by 2050.

What is part of this sector? Emissions from the use of urea in agriculture, as this produces CO2.

This sub-sector accounts for 1.3% of Agriculture emissions in France.
