How to compare basic CO2e emissions in vertical farming and open-field farming

Ronny Suarez

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper compares the carbon dioxide equivalent emissions (kgCO2e) produced per kilogram (kg) of lettuce grown using vertical farming versus open-field farming. It demonstrates how the carbon intensity of energy consumption (kgCO2e/kWh) and transportation (kgCO2e/km) affects the carbon intensity of the product (kgCO2e/kg).
