Analysis

Greenland recorded 0.0002 kt for nutrient nitrogen n (total) — indirect emissions (n2o that) in 2050.

Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — indirect emissions (n2o that) in Greenland peaked at 0.0004 kt in 2008 and was at its lowest, 0 kt, in 1961.

That places Greenland 190th out of 218 countries with data for 2050, putting it in the bottom quarter.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Crops provides estimates of emissions associated with crop processes, namely 1) crop residues, 2) burning of crop residues, and 3) rice cultivation and the application of nitrogen (N) fertilizers, including mineral and chemical fertilizers, to soils. Estimates are computed at Tier 1 following the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 2006).
