Ammonia and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
– who emits more?
Tom Misselbrook
Rothamsted Research, North Wyke
Overview
 Sources and impacts – ammonia, nitrous oxide, methane
 Current emission estimates
 Influence of management practices
 Potential mitigations
Ammonia - overview
Air quality pollutant
Particulate formation, eutrophication, acidification
Agriculture is major source – c. 90% for UK
NH3 emissions from UK agriculture
Ammonia - cattle
41%
19%
28%
12%
Housing
Manure storage
Manure spreading
Grazing
Managed manure is the major emission source
Ammonia – influence of management
Annual emission per dairy cow
Extended grazing systems will have lower NH3 emissions
BUT … potential for increased N2O and nitrate leaching
How efficiently are manure nutrients used?
GHG from agriculture - overview
Nitrous oxide and methane are potent GHG (c. 300 and 25x CO2)
Agriculture accounts for 84% N2O and 44% CH4 in UK
GHG emissions from UK agriculture (CO2e)
Enteric methane – influence of management
Production system – large, high yielders vs small, lower yielders

Based on AC0114 proposed inventory methodology
GHG – influence of management
• Diet and body weight – relatively small effect
• Production level has a greater effect
• Other considerations – longevity, fertility, health

Mitigation – diet, lower N intake
Lower losses
throughout the system
Mitigation - diet
How low can we go? – Defra project AC0122
How to achieve in largely forage-based systems
Mitigation – manure management
Band spreading Slurry injection
Rapid incorporation
 Very effective NH3 emission

 Potential increase in N2O
Mitigation – nitrification inhibitors

Summary and conclusions
 Cattle farming is a significant source of NH3, N2O and CH4
 Ammonia emissions primarily from managed manure
 Methane primarily from enteric fermentation
 Nitrous oxide primarily from soils
 Management practices influence magnitude of emissions – but
potential trade-offs
 Mitigation methods exist – particularly for ammonia
 Accept that there will always be a variety of production systems
 Research to improve nutrient use efficiencies/develop mitigations
within given systems
 Particularly for more precision in grazing/grassland-based systems
THE
END

  • 13. Summary and conclusions  Cattle farming is a significant source of NH3, N2O and CH4  Ammonia emissions primarily from managed manure  Methane primarily from enteric fermentation  Nitrous oxide primarily from soils  Management practices influence magnitude of emissions – but potential trade-offs  Mitigation methods exist – particularly for ammonia  Accept that there will always be a variety of production systems  Research to improve nutrient use efficiencies/develop mitigations within given systems  Particularly for more precision in grazing/grassland-based systems
