Agricultural greenhouse gas emissions

Agriculture contributes 15.5 per cent of Australia’s emissions (Figure 1), largely due to methane, from ruminant livestock digestion, nitrous oxide from soils and carbon dioxide from fossil fuel use (Australian National Greenhouse Accounts 2011; ABARES 2011). This bulletin identifies current ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Australian agriculture.https://library.dpird.wa.gov.au/bulletins/1176/thumbnail.jp
