TOPIC 3: HIGHLIGHTS FROM IPCC GOOD PRACTICE GUIDANCE


The activity data used for this source category is the same data collected for the direct N2O emissions. Specifically:

  • Synthetic fertilizers:
    • Total amount of nitrogen applied as fertilizer;
  • Animal manure:
    • Total amount of nitrogen in animal manure produced;
    • Amount of animal manure that is devoted to other uses, and not contributing to leaching and runoff;
    • Nitrogen content in manure;
  • For sewage sludge:
    • Amount applied to soils;
    • Nitrogen content in sewage sludge;

Additionally, the Party must produce values for FRACGASF, FRACGASM, and FRACLEACH. Note that these fractions should be consistent with those used to estimate direct emissions.
