Synthetic Fertilizers — Emissions in Greenland, 1961–2050
Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Measured in kt.
Analysis
The most recent figure for synthetic fertilizers — emissions in Greenland is 0.0031 kt, measured in 2050.
Over the whole period, synthetic fertilizers — emissions in Greenland peaked at 0.005 kt in 2008 and was at its lowest, 0 kt, in 1961.

About this data
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.
