Agricultural Soils
In Italy, the sub-sector Agricultural Soils (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 9.23 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 2.2% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (10.01 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 7.8%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 8.78 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 22.8% of Agriculture emissions in Italy.
