In Greece, the sub-sector Agricultural soils (part of Agriculture) was responsible for 2.93 Mt CO₂eq of emissions in the year 2021, which is 3.8% of total emissions in that year. Compared to 1990 (4.47 Mt CO₂eq), emissions have decreased by 34.4%. Under existing measures, emissions are projected to reach 1.87 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 32.7% of Agriculture emissions in Greece.
