4. Treatment processes
Nitrous oxide emissions can be controlled and reduced at two levels: at source or after treatment of the gases produced.
4.1 Source reduction
-
The most elegant approach to minimizing nitrous oxide emissions is to drastically reduce their production at source.
In the case of diffuse emissions generated by agricultural soils, N 2 O production is the direct consequence of nitrogen transformations by soil bacteria (ie, nitrification and denitrification). To produce less N 2 O, soils should be treated less with nitrogen fertilizers. This solution is only conceivable if nitrogen fertilization of...
