Global agriculture nitrous oxide emissions 1990-2021
Global emissions of nitrous oxides (Nâ‚‚O) from agricultural processes hit record high of **** billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCOâ‚‚e) in 2021. Annual Nâ‚‚O emissions related to agriculture have increased more than ** percent since 1990. Synthetic fertilizers are one of the major sources of agricultural Nâ‚‚O emissions. Nâ‚‚O is a potent greenhouse gas that is *** times more powerful at warming the planet than COâ‚‚.
