1 CAP CONTEXT INDICATORS EMISSIONS FROM AGRICULTURE 2017 update

2 CONTEXT INDICATOR 45: EMISSIONS FROM AGRICULTURE 1. GHG emissions from agriculture GHG emissions from agriculture represent 9.8% of total GHG emissions in the European Union. Like most economic sectors, agriculture produces greenhouse gases (GHG). Greenhouse gases as a whole include CO 2, CH 4, N 2 O and fluorinated gases (HFCs, PFCs and SF6). According to the methodology used in this indicator, agricultural emissions include the following sources of GHG: enteric fermentation of ruminants (UNFCCC Sector 3.A), manure management (Sector 3.B), rice cultivation (Sector 3.C) and agricultural soil management (Sector 3.D). In 2015, agricultural emissions of GHG in the EU-28 (Table 1 and Graph 1) amounted to 424 million tonnes of CO 2 equivalents. This accounts for 9.8% of total emissions 1 for that year. The contribution to total European emissions from agriculture differs significantly among Member States, also due to the size and features of their agricultural sector. France, Germany and the United Kingdom still keep the lead, accounting for 42.9% of the total agricultural emissions. The share of agriculture in total GHG emissions shows the highest value for Ireland (31.4%), Latvia (24.0%), Lithuania (22.6%), Denmark (21.1%) and France (16.7%) while the lowest share was registered in Malta (3%), the Czech Republic (6.4%), Luxembourg and Cyprus (both 6.6%). 1 In this calculation, total emissions do not take into account GHG sources and sinks from land use, land use change and the forestry sector (LULUCF). Graph 1 - GHG emissions from agriculture and share in total GHG emissions,

Emissions from the agricultural sector have declined by 6.1% since 2000 in the EU-28 (Graph 2), showing an average annual rate of decrease of 0.4% between 2000 and The reduction in GHG emissions at the EU- 28 level has been mainly due to a 7.9% decrease of the emissions in the EU-15, while the EU-N13 experienced a slight growth (1.6%) of the agricultural GHG emissions. On the other hand, the long term trend of GHG emissions shows that over the period agricultural emissions decreased by 20.0% in the EU-28 with a bigger reduction in the EU-N13 (42.3%) than in the EU-15 (11.7%). This long term decrease is particularly significant in Slovakia, Bulgaria, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia and Romania where the emissions were cut by approximately 50% between 1990 and

4 Graph 2 Evolution of GHG emissions from agriculture in the EU-28, At European level the decreasing trend has slowed down since Comparing the periods and (Graph 3), the decreasing trend shows a general slowdown and in some cases a reversal, as for Latvia and Estonia. At European level, the average annual rate of decrease (Graph 4) passed from 1.6% in the first period to 0.4 % in the second due to developments in the EU-13. At the same time, the decrease rate registered in the EU-15 (from -0.4% to -0.5%) has not changed much. Graph 3 - Change in GHG emission from agriculture, and

5 Graph 4 Average annual change in GHG emission from agriculture, and Grassland played an important role as a GHG sink in France, the United Kingdom, Lithuania and Italy. In order to obtain the full picture, figures on total net GHG emissions from the agricultural sector should also include emissions and removals of GHG from agricultural soils: grassland and cropland. While cropland is a source of CO 2 emissions, grassland is, on average, a sink for CO 2. In 2015 (Graphs 5 and 6, Table 2), the amount of emissions including the effects of agricultural soils came to almost 516 million tons, of which 75.6 million tons (14.6%) came from cropland. Grassland sequestrated about 4.1 million tons of CO 2. The role of grassland as a GHG sink was particularly important in France, the United Kingdom, Italy and Lithuania, whereas cropland reduced GHG emissions in Spain, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, Sweden, Slovenia, Ireland and Austria.

Ammonia emissions from agriculture NH3 emissions from agriculture represent 93.6% of total NH3 emissions in the European Union. The agricultural sector remains responsible for the vast majority of ammonia emissions within the EU-28. Ammonia emissions occur mainly as a result of volatilisation from livestock excreta and a smaller proportion result from the utilisation of synthetic N-fertilizers. In 2015, agricultural ammonia emissions in the European Union (table 3) amounted to 3.8 million tonnes. This accounts for about 93.6% of total EU-28 emissions 2 for that year. The contribution to total European emissions from agriculture differs significantly among Member States (Graph 7), also due to the size and features of their agricultural sector. Germany (724 million tonnes) and France (664 million tonnes) are at the top of the list, followed by Spain, Italy, Poland, the United Kingdom and Romania. These countries account for 76.2% of total European emissions, whilst the contribution of any of the other 21 Members States is less than 3%. The share of agriculture in total NH 3 emissions shows less difference among Member States. The highest shares are shown by Malta (99.5%), Ireland (98.8%), Greece and France (both 97.9%), Poland (97.0%) and Slovakia (96.6%), while the lowest shares were recorded in Portugal (78.5%) and Croatia (79.2%). 2 The National Total for the entire territory presented in the Data viewer (see box at the end of this document) comprises the aggregated NFR14 sectors (excluding memo items) reported by countries corresponding to anthropogenic (man-made) emissions. Natural emission sources (e.g. wind-blown dust) and re-suspension (e.g. the re-suspension of road-side particulate matter) are not included in the reported national totals. NFR means National Format for Reporting, in accordance with the reporting categories under the UNECE CLRTAP (Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution and the National Ceilings Directive, 2001/81 EC).

8 Graph 8 - Change in NH3 emission from agriculture, 2014 to 2015 The change in ammonia emissions from agriculture differs strongly among countries. The slight change in total ammonia emissions from agriculture (Graph 8) between 2014 and 2015 at the EU-28 level (+1.9%) hides significant differences among Member States. The largest decreases were observed in Finland (-4.6%), Malta (-3.3%), and Lithuania (-2.2%) while Bulgaria and Croatia registered the biggest increases during this period (8.0 and 7.8%, respectively). Graph 9 shows the four subsectors with the highest share of ammonia emissions from agriculture in 2014, which together can contribute between 41% (as in Austria) and 93% (as in Luxembourg) of the total ammonia emissions from agriculture. In the EU-28, the highest share of total ammonia emissions (table 4) comes from N-fertilizers (20.8%), with a similar share in the EU-15 and in the EU-N13. Ammonia emissions from N-fertilizers are more important in some older Member States, such as France and Germany, and in several new Member States, such as Lithuania, Latvia and the Czech Republic. Countries with the highest share of ammonia emissions from swine are Malta, Cyprus, Romania and Denmark. Ammonia emissions from non-dairy cattle are most important for Luxembourg, Slovenia and Ireland. Finally, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Poland and Romania belong to the group of countries with the highest share of ammonia emissions from the subcategory Dairy cattle. 7
