Agricultural Soils
In Ireland, the sub-sector Agricultural Soils (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 5.06 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 8.2% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (4.8 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have increased by 5.4%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 4.52 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 21.4% of Agriculture emissions in Ireland.
