| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, (1) the energy and material flows in the glasshouse horticulture of flowers and ornamental plants were identified based on the field and interview survey at a specific site located in Arida district of Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. In addition, a quantitative analysis was conducted to estimate the GHG emissions derived from each energy and material consumed in cultivation process, applying Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). (2) Seven alternative options of heating equipment used in glasshouse horticulture was developed and then evaluated GHG emissions reduction potential through introducing low-carbon equipments in substitution for conventional oil boiler and utilizing woody and waste biomass for fuel. (3) The effects of early action to reduce CO2 emissions in greenhouse horticulture on benefits from utilization of carbon credit scheme was evaluated.
