Methane emissions from rice cultivation in Cuba
Main Article Content
Abstract
Methane emissions from rice cultivation in Cuba are low compared to other source categories, but the uncertainties associated with the calculation are high. Emissions are currently being underestimated for this category, decreasing their importance within the total emissions for the agricultural sector, so it is necessary to have a better distribution of areas and crop technology applicable to the grain to improve the factors existing emissions. On the other hand, it is an important contribution to the decrease of the uncertainties associated with these factors, and to the estimation of methane by this activity. With this work, we obtain daily estimated methane emission factors by technology and crop season, reducing the uncertainties, and corroborating that the emissions calculated to date were being underestimated.
