EU Emission Tracker

Agricultural soils

In France, the sub-sector Agricultural soils (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 19.71 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 4.7% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (23.02 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 14.4%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 16.79 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 24.2% of Agriculture emissions in France.
