N2O Emission Inventories
N₂O emission inventories are detailed records that track how much nitrous oxide (N₂O), a potent greenhouse gas, is released into the atmosphere from various sources. These sources include agriculture (like fertilizer use), industry, and natural processes. The inventories help scientists and policymakers understand the scale of emissions, identify major contributors, and develop strategies to reduce their environmental impact. Clear and accurate inventories are essential for addressing climate change and ensuring accountability in emissions management.
