Across 28 field trials with spring barley and winter wheat, emissions were measured at 0.11–0.16% for mineral fertiliser and 0.37–0.38% for livestock manure after starter fertiliser – far below the global average. This breakthrough provides a robust dataset for Danish conditions and could pave the way for national emission factors, making climate accounting more accurate and targeted. “With better and more precise data, we can focus efforts where they matter most – benefiting both the climate and agriculture’s green transition,” says Franziska Eller, Senior Consultant at SEGES Innovation.
