  1. Agricultural Ammonia and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Indicator: OECD Experience by Takeo MAKINO Directorate for Food, Agriculture, and Fisheries, OECD EEA, Copenhagen 27-28 February 2003

  2. Greenhouse Gas Emissions in carbon dioxide equivalent, 1995-97 OECD total emissions (million tonnes) Emissions from agriculture (million tonnes) Share of agriculture (%) 1 CO2 11 552 (82%) 59 (5%) 1 437 (10%) 557 (47%) 39 CH4 929 (2%) 560 (48%) 60 N2O 224 (2%) 0 0 Others: (HFCs, PFCs, SF6) Total 14 142 1 176 8

  3. Main sources of Agricultural GHG (OECD countries, 1995-97) Others (fuel combustion) 7% Other crop sector (2%) Fuel combustion (7%) Livestock enteric fermentation (33%) Agricultural soil (45%) Livestock farming 46% Crop production 47% Livestock waste (13%)

  4. Canada Belgium United States Netherlands OECD Italy Denmark Austria Sweden Norway Spain Ireland United Kingdom New Zealand EU-15 Australia Luxembourg Greece France Iceland Portugal Switzerland Japan Turkey Germany Finland Poland Hungary Czech Republic % -40 -30 -20 -10 0 10 20 Gross emissions of greenhouse gases from agriculture % change 1990-92 to 1995-97 in CO2 equivalent

  5. GHG: Change emissions from livestock and rice production in OECD countries, 1990 to 2020

  6. GHG: Related Information • Capacity of agriculture in sequencing (removing) • carbon in soils OECD Expert Meeting on Soil Organic Carbon Indicators for Agricultural Land (15-18 October 2002, Ottawa, Canada) • Fossil fuels with biomass energy OECD Workshop on Biomass and Agriculture (10-13 June 2003, Vienna, Austria)

  7. Ammonia Emissions • Share of agriculture: over 90 % • Main sources in agriculture • i) Livestock manure management: over 80 % • Animal husbandry management • Manure storage system • Manure application on agricultural land • ii) Inorganic fertilisers application

  8. Ammonia Emissions: as acidifying pollutants

  9. Sweden Canada United States Ireland Norway Belgium OECD France Italy EU Finland Luxembourg United Kingdom Germany Austria Netherlands Denmark Poland Hungary Czech Republic % -50 -40 -30 -20 -10 0 10 20 30 Change in ammonia emissions from agriculture: 1990-92 to 1997-99

  10. Agricultural Ammonia Emissions Indicators: Future Work • Country coverage: Extend to non-European countries • Linkage to the nitrogen balance indicators: Agricultural ammonia emission in the context of overall nitrogen cycle EP/DFend • “Decoupling” indicators: 1 - EP/DFstart Change in: vs. Environmental pressure (EP) Driving force (DF) e.g. economic growth

  11. Decoupling Indicators: Agricultural ammonia emissions and Livestock output Index 1985-87=100 Livestock output (USD) NH3 emissions (tonnes)
