Analysis

Ukraine recorded 8,100 kt for synthetic fertilizers — emissions (co2eq) from n2o (ar5) — unfccc in 2020. That is the highest value across all 29 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 19.3% on the previous year and up 151.9% over ten years.

Over the whole period, synthetic fertilizers — emissions (co2eq) from n2o (ar5) — unfccc in Ukraine peaked at 8,100 kt in 2020 and was at its lowest, 921.76 kt, in 2000.

That places Ukraine 4th out of 43 countries with data for 2020, putting it in the top 10%.

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

The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
