Theoretical Nitrous Oxide, Methane, Carbon Dioxide Emissions Calculations to the Atmosphere in Niğde, Turkey
Abstract
One of the reasons for the formation of emissions in the world and Turkey is the livestock sector. Methane and nitrogen oxide are the two major greenhouse released into the atmosphere due to fertilizer management. If there is no good fertilizer management planning, animal fertilizer formed in animal husbandry enterprises poses a big problem for the environment and human health. Collection of fertilizer from shelters, method of collection, where to store fertilizer, and how to evaluate are among the most important problems. In this study, greenhouse gas emissions from animal husbandry in Niğde, Turkey were examined between 2016-2020. Different animal species were used in the study and the Tier-1 method defined by the IPCC was used to calculate greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the potential for Global Warming that may occur from greenhouse gas emissions has been determined. As a result of calculations, N2O (Nitrous oxide) emission was determined to be 1.1x103 tons/year and CH4 (methane) emission to be 134x103 tons/year. The global warming potential created by these two emissions is 3152x103 tons of CO2.
