Agricultural Soils
In Spain, the sub-sector Agricultural Soils (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 6.12 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 2.1% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (5.73 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have increased by 6.9%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 5.68 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 13.1% of Agriculture emissions in Spain.
