In Sweden, the sub-sector Agricultural soils (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 2.29 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 4.9% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (2.73 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 16.2%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 2.10 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 31% of Agriculture emissions in Sweden.
