Abstract

The study was conducted to identify and estimate agricultural emissions in in O Mon district, Can Tho city. From there, it evaluated and proposed measures to help limit these greenhouse gas emissions for environmental improvements. The method was applied under the 2006 IPCC formula. The study has identified the main emission sources derived from: rice cultivation, animal science, burn straw and fertilize. Research results show that burning straw emits the most greenhouse gases with 3 types of gases: CH4, CO2, N2O and the highest total emissions of 63,363 (tons of CO2e/year). Meanwhile, fertilization activities during wet rice cultivation emit the least with 914.48 (tons of CO2e/year). The research contributes to providing more information about the current status of greenhouse gas emissions in the region, helping managers develop strategies for sustainable agricultural development.
