GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION IN AGRICULTURE SECTOR IN KY ANH DISTRICT, HA TINH PROVINCE

The study on Green House Gas (GHG) inventories was carried out in Ky Anh district, Ha Tinh province. The Agriculture and Land Use National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Software (ALU) version 4.5.2 (ALU, 2015) was used to simulate GHG emission based on district activity data in 2010 and 2014 and to predict GHG emission for the year 2020 based on agricultural development plan data of that year. The results showed that the highest GHG emission (80.59% of total agricultural emission) came from rice cultivation. Emissions from agricultural residue burning and from agricultural soil accounted for 0.8% and 7.8% of total GHG emission correspondently. Enteric fermentation and manure management were also high with 7.4% and 3.3% respectively of total GHG emissions from agriculture.
