Manure management

In Germany, the sub-sector Manure management (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 9.42 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 1.2% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (12.97 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 27.3%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 8.67 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 14.7% of Agriculture emissions in Germany.
