Methane and nitrous oxide emissions from animal manure management, 1990 - 2003 - Background document on the calculation method for the Dutch National Inventory Report
2006
Since 2005 the Netherlands has used a new country-specific method to
calculate the methane and nitrous oxide emissions from animal manure
management. Compared to the default methods provided by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, this method has led to a more
realistic estimate of the emissions. Manure management in the
Netherlands comprises manure storage, manure production in the meadow and
manure processing. Methane and nitrous oxide contribute to the
greenhouse effect and, in order to meet the commitments of the Kyoto
protocol, have to be reported annually in the Dutch National Inventory
Report. This protocol encourages countries to use country-specific
methods rather than the default methods provided by the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change. The report describes the calculation schemes
and data sources used for methane and nitrous oxide emissions from animal
manure management in the Netherlands. The elaborate explanation will
facilitate expert reviewing. Finally, the report also presents an
overview of the methane and nitrous oxide emissions from animal manure
management and the underlying data used in the 1990 - 2003
period.
