CPRG Selected Applications by Sector - Agriculture and Natural and Working Lands

Flower logo

Agriculture: Livestock and crop production, including the application of fertilizer to soils, are the main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture. In 2022, agricultural activities were responsible for 9.4% of total U.S. GHG emissions.

Natural and Working Lands: The land use, land-use change, and forestry sector removes more carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere than it emits, i.e., removing the equivalent of nearly 15% of total GHG emissions in 2022. While CO2 from the atmosphere is stored in plant biomass and soils, GHGs are emitted from land-use conversion and agricultural land management, wetlands and disturbances such as fires.

The following selected applications include proposed projects in the agriculture and natural and working lands sector:
