Définition de 4F Field Burning of Agricultural Residues Catégorie de sources
Emission of non-CO2 greenhouse gases from burning (in the field) of crop residue and other agricultural wastes on site. These include woody crop residues (e.g. coconut shells, jute sticks, etc.); cereal residues (e.g. rice and wheat straw, maize stalks, etc.); green crop residues (e.g. groundnut straw, soybean tops, etc.). The burning of agricultural waste for energy is excluded here but included under fuel combustion activities in Section 1 A. CO2 from vegetal or biomass burning is noted for information but is not included in the inventory total, since it is assumed that a roughly equivalent amount of CO2 is removed by regrowth of the next crop.
