1 Integrated measures in agriculture to reduce ammonia emissions Contract No /2005/422822/MAR/C1
2 Outline Background Objectives Service Contract Results Maps for year 2000 Effect of single measures Scenario analyses Main results and conclusions Main uncertainties Main recommendations Questions
3 Background 1. Sixth Environmental Action Program of EU: No significant negative effects of air pollution on human health and the environment 2. Thematic Strategy on Air Pollution (TSAP) Principle: Integrated approaches needed. Proposals to decrease the emissions of NH 3 : Review/revision of the NEC Directive Make use of provisions of Rural Development Regulation Implementation of Gothenborg protocol Include effects of Nitrates Directive on NH 3 emissions and v.v. In parallel: Review of the IPPC Directive

6 Objectives Service Contract.to define the most appropriate integrated and consistent actions to reduce environmental impacts from agriculture Tasks 1. Develop an integrated approach: MITERRA-EUROPE 2. Analysis of International and European Instruments 3. In depth assessment of the most promising measures 4. Impact assessment of a possible modification of the IPPC 5. Stakeholder consultation, presentations, workshop
7 Integrated assessment tool MITERRA- EUROPE Based on: RAINS: gaseous emissions: CAPRI: activity data Databases: activity data New developments: leaching Three scales: - EU-27 - Member State - Regional (NUTS-2 2 / NVZ
8 Nitrate leaching Calculation of leaching Stored manure, surface run-off, to groundwater Calculated using leaching fractions (dependent on soil properties), climate and crop Implementation of Nitrates Directive Measures: uniform approach for all countries Implemented in NVZ (current en predicted for 2020) Implementation rate of measures in 2000, 2010, and 2020 estimated from action programmes and expert judgement

26 Main Results / Conclusions (1) Final Summary Report + 4 underlying reports Simple integrated tool MITERRA EUROPE, data viewer Similar results between RAINS/MITERRA/CAPRI
27 Main Results / Conclusions (2) Antagonistic effects of policies exist, but may be avoided; Synergistic effects of N input control measures are large; Costs of N input measures are significant, and/but are in part transferred to consumers
28 Main Results / Conclusions (3) IPPC, ND, WFD & CAP + contribute to achieving objectives TSAP; Contribution of IPPC depends on: Interpretation > LNA > threshold Combining the measures of the Gothenborg protocol with ND measures may be attractive
29 Main Results / Conclusions (4) Balanced N fertilization, low-protein animal feeding and NH 3 emissions abatement measures are key to an integrated control of N emissions from European agriculture Large spatial variation in the effectiveness of measures in EU- 27, both between and within Member States;
30 Main Uncertainties Future outlook (milk quota, farm structure, new MSs,, etc.) Interpretation of measures of the Nitrates Directive and of the Gothenborg Protocol in practice in EU-27; Changing surface areas and cropping systems over time; Crops yields and N contents have been assumed homogeneous within Member States; Application of the concept of balanced fertilization and a uniform N uptake efficiency factor throughout EU-27; Costs of balfert and LNF based on assumptions
31 Main recommendations Further validation needed of MITERRA-EUROPE EUROPE as regards (regional) variations in N losses; Uniform survey of animal feeding practices and methodologies for N excretion by animals throughout EU-27 Mechanistic relationship between (low-protein) feeding and NH 3 emissions; Uniform survey of fertilization practices and N balance calculations throughout EU-27; Uniform survey of interpretation of IPPC throughout EU-27;
32 . Questions?
33 Balanced N fertilization Uniform implementation of the balanced N fertilization concept at NUTS-2 level: Balanced N fertilization: Σ (input of available N from all sources) = Efficiency factor * Σ (N output via harvested crop + crop residues). Efficiency factor = 1.25
34 N demand of a crop in MITERRA-EUROPE N yield Yields of FAO and N contents estimated using literature N in crop residues N index (yield/residue) from literature Efficiency factor (N uptake efficiency of roots) 25% for grassland 25% for cereals 25% for other crops Overfertilization factor For balanced fertilization: 0%
35 Supply of plant-available N Plant-available N: NH 4 and NO 3 present in the soil in the N uptake period of crops (or released in this period) Sources Fertilizers Manures N excreted during grazing Biological N fixation Atmospheric deposition Soil N mineralization
36 Sources of plant-available N Fertilizers RAINS and MITERRA-EUROPE Manures and N excreted during grazing Number of animals, N excretion, losses from storage, grazing system Biological N fixation Crop area and N fixation per ha Atmospheric deposition CAPRI and RAINS Soil N mineralization Equal to organic N input via crop residues and manure
37 Availability of N for crops: fertilizer equivalency Fertilizers and manures correction for NH 3 losses and surface runoff N excreted during grazing correction for NH 3 losses, surface runoff 80% Biological N fixation 100% Atmospheric deposition 75% Soil N mineralization 90% for grassland and 70% for arable land
38 Balanced N fertilization in MITERRA- EUROPE Calculation on regional scale (NUTS II regions) If supply of available N must be reduced, than: i) fertilizer application is reduced: Up to 0% on grassland Up to 50% on arable land ii) if N supply is still too high Manure N is removed ( treated )
39 Calculations with MITERRA RAINS 2000: EFMA RAINS 2020: EFMA and CAPRI Full implementation Nitrates Directive in 2020 (in Nitrate Vulnerable Zones); based on RAINS % implementation of balanced N fertilization in EU-27; based on RAINS 2020
40 Demand and supply of plant-available in kg N per ha supply demand AT BG BL CZ DE DK EE EL ES FI FR HU IR IT LT LU LV NL PL PT RO SE SI SK UK
41 Year 2000: difference between supply and demand 100 kg N per ha AT BG BL CZ DE DK EE EL ES FI FR HU IR IT LT LU LV NL PL PT RO SE SI SK UK -20
42 Prediction of fertilizer use in EU-27 at different scenarios N fertilizer use in EU-27, kton -6% % - 26% RAINS2000 RAINS2020 ND2020 BF2020
43 N fertilizer use in kg N per ha 2020; balanced N fertilization 2000
44 Conclusions MITERRA-EUROPE useful for predicting mineral N fertilizer use: Crop, regional level, national level,and EU-27 Effects of different policies and measures Effects of different estimates of yields, efficiency, and overfertilization, etc. MITERRA-EUROPE also P Full implementation of Nitrates Directive result in significant decrease in fertilizer use.
