In Luxembourg, the sub-sector Liming (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 0.01 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 0.1% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (0 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have increased by 3,751.2%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 0.01 Mt CO₂eq by 2050.
What is part of this sector? Emissions caused by the application of lime to agricultural soils. Lime is applied to reduce the acidity of the soil, which produces CO2.
This sub-sector accounts for 1.4% of Agriculture emissions in Luxembourg.
