In Netherlands, the sub-sector Agricultural soils (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 4.21 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 2.5% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (7.78 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 45.8%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 4.15 Mt CO₂eq by 2022.
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 14.7% of Agriculture emissions in Netherlands.
