EU Agriculture Greenhouse Emissions Down
BRUSSELS - Sep 9/05 - SNS -- Greenhouse gas emission by the European Union's agriculture sector has decreased, dropping from 491 million metric tons (MT) of CO2 equivalent in 2000 to 468 million MT in 2003.
Agriculture accounts for around 10% of EU25 greenhouse gas emissions, and is the second largest source of such emissions after energy.
While emissions from agriculture remained stable in the EU25 between 1994 and 1999, there has been a reduction of 6% between 1999 and 2003.
Agriculture can also help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector by an increased production of renewable energy. In particular, the consumption of biomass in the EU25 has grown by 47% between 1993 and 2003 to account for 4% of the total gross inland energy consumption.
