The incorporation of biochar into soil has been investigated to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from ruminant urine patches. Biochar is a carbon-rich compound manufactured from the thermal decomposition of organic matter in oxygen-deprived conditions at relatively low temperatures.
A 2010 report estimated that sustainable use of biochar could reduce the global net emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane, and nitrous oxide by up to 1.8 billion tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e) per year (compared to the about 50 billion tonnes emitted in 2021), without endangering food security, habitats, or soil conservation.

Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and fluorinated gases (F-gases) play a lesser role in comparison. Emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide in 2023 were all higher than ever before. [6] Electricity generation, heat and transport are major emitters; overall energy is responsible for around 73% of emissions. [7]
Emissions attributed to specific power stations around the world, color-coded by type of fuel used at the station. Lower half focuses on Europe and Asia [1] This article is a list of locations and entities by greenhouse gas emissions, i.e. the greenhouse gas emissions from companies, activities, and countries on Earth which cause climate change.
The following table lists the annual CO 2 emissions estimates (in kilotons of CO 2 per year) for the year 2023, as well as the change from the year 2000. [4] The data only consider carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and cement manufacture, but not emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry.
The following table lists the 1970, 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 annual per capita GHG [n 1] emissions estimates (in metric tons of CO 2 equivalent per year). The data include carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) from all sources, including agriculture and land use change. They are measured in carbon ...
English: The variwide chart allows the visualization of a multitude of data dimensions in one easy-to-read diagram. These data dimensions are: - Individual country data, such as China, South Africa, or the USA, or a group of countries such as the Middle East, Africa, or Australia/New Zealand, - Population by country or group of countries, - Per capita CO2 emissions, and - CO2 emissions growth ...
Global map of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including agriculture and land use change, measured in carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale. [1] Annual GHG emissions by region, including agriculture and land use change, measured in carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale [2] Per capita annual GHG emissions, including agriculture and land use change, measured in ...
