#446 | Source: Y. Zhang, A. L. Collins, Food and Energy Security | Published on October 14th, 2026

New research explores how better nitrogen management could reduce agriculture’s energy use and carbon footprint. The study estimates potential reductions of 8.8–13.0% in CO₂-equivalent impacts and fertiliser-related energy use by 16–40%.

Abstract

Energy use and climate change are critical concerns for various sectors, including agriculture, highlighting the need to analyze energy profiles using CO2 equivalents.
