EU Emission Tracker

Urea Application

In Spain, the sub-sector Urea Application (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 0.32 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 0.1% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (0.44 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 27.8%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 0.48 Mt CO₂eq by 2050.

What is part of this sector? Emissions from the use of urea in agriculture, as this produces CO2.

This sub-sector accounts for 0.7% of Agriculture emissions in Spain.
