Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Costs of Reduced Nitrogen Fertilizer

Agriculture, 2022
The reduction of nitrogen (N) fertilizer use is a possible greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation option, whereas cost estimation highly depends on assumptions of the yield response function.

The implications of residential air conditioning refrigerant choice on future hydrofluorocarbon consumption in the United States

Journal of Integrative Environmental Sciences, 2020
As the primary alternative to ozone-depleting refrigerants, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) have increased in use and emissions in the United States. This increase, and a large portion of total U.S.

Effectivity and Cost Efficiency of a Tax on Nitrogen Fertilizer to Reduce GHG Emissions from Agriculture

Atmosphere, 2020
The use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer substantially contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to N2O emissions from agricultural soils and energy-intensive fertilizer manufacturing.

The role of non-CO2 mitigation options within the dairy industry for pursuing climate change targets

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Mitigation of non-CO _2 climate forcing agents must complement the mitigation of CO _2 to achieve long-term temperature and climate policy goals. A large share of global non-CO _2 greenhouse gas emissions is attributed to agriculture, with a significant ...

245 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Mitigation Strategies

Journal of Animal Science, 2021
Abstract Livestock production contributed 3.9% to the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from the US in 2018. Most studies to mitigate GHG from livestock are focused on enteric methane because it contributes about 70% of all livestock GHG emissions.
