Energy Use and Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Cropland Production in the United States, 1990-2004

Dataset ·

These data represent energy use and fossil-fuel CO2 emissions associated with cropland production in the U.S. Energy use and emissions occurring on the farm are referred to as on-site energy and on-site emissions. Energy use and emissions associated with cropland production that occur off the farm (e.g., use of electricity, energy and emissions associated with fertilizer and pesticide production) are referred to as off-site energy and off-site emissions. The combination of on-site and off-site energy and carbon is referred to as total energy and total carbon, respectively.To access the older version of this data package see: http://cdiac.ess-dive.lbl.gov/carbonmanagement/cropfossilemissions/
