2.3.5 Agriculture (non-carbon dioxide)
CH4 and NO2 emissions from this sector originate mainly from raising
animals and using fertilizers. Spain’s agricultural emissions are above the
Annex I average , due to its relatively extensive agricultural activity.

Emission sources in this sector include solid waste disposal (landfills),
wastewater treatment and incineration of waste not used for energy generation.
Waste does not contribute much to Spain’s GHG emissions (Table 4 –11,
column 1).
CH4 emissions from landfills can be captured and burned or used for
electricity and heat generation at low cost, Spain’s percentage of CH4 recovered
is relatively low ((Table 4 –11, column 3). If waste is incinerated, most CH4
emissions are avoided.
