The emissions from the agricultural sector are calculated in a comprehensive agricultural model
complex called DIEMA (Danish Integrated Emission Model for Agriculture). This model as shown
in Figure 6.2 is implemented in great detail and it is used to cover both emissions of ammonia,
particular matter and greenhouse gases. Thus, there is a direct coherence between the ammonia
emission and the emission of N 2 O. A more detailed description is published, but only in Danish
(Mikkelsen et al. 2005). It is planned to publish an English edition.
This year NERI has established data agreements with the institutes and organisations to assure
that the necessary data is available to work out the emission inventory in time. The main part of
the emission is related to the livestock production and much of the data is based on Danish standards.
The Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences (DIAS) deliver Danish standards related to
feeding consumption, manure type in different stable types, nitrogen content in manure etc. Previously
the standards were updated and published every third or fourth year – the last one is Poulsen
et al. from 2001. From year 2001 NERI receives updated data annually directly from DIAS in
the form of spreadsheets. These standards have been described and published in English in Poulsen
& Kristensen (1998).
