opment is that the use of fertiliser and, in turn, the NH3 emission has
been reduced.

Emissions reported in NFR table 4G include three emissions sources;
emission from growing crops, sewage sludge used as fertilizer and NH3
treated straw. NH3 emission from these sources contributes in 2009 with
7 % of the total emission from the agricultural sector and the most important
ones are emission from growing crops.

More detailed description covering emission factors used for crops and
NH3 treated straw is given in Annex 2C3.

Information on farmed area and cultivation of different crop types is
collected by Statistics Denmark. Information on amount of sewage
sludge, N-content and NH3 emission factor is obtained from reports
prepared by the Danish Protection Agency. The activity data is given in
Table 6.10. The amount of sewage sludge has increased from 1985 until
1995. In the following years to 2009 the amount of sludge used as fertiliser
has fallen as a result of increasing request from the industrial sector.
The sludge is used in industrial process e.g. in the cement production
and production of sandblasting material.
