1. Objectives
To develop an industry profile of the indoor greenhouse sector including energy use and identifying gaps in the information compiled. This may form part of a further more detailed study that will be used to factually underpin the presentation of the sectors "at risk" status and subsequent policy development. The further study does not form part of this contract.
Specific objectives include:
- to estimate the size of the sector, both in terms of production, location and energy use;
- to assess energy types used; · to estimate the intensity of energy use relative to physical production;
- to assess the potential for energy efficiency improvement within the sector and areas where further investigative work could be undertaken, including uptake of new technologies and barriers to change;
- to calculate an indicative estimate of emissions units produced by the sector, including taking into account carbon dioxide recycled within the greenhouse systems.
This is intended to be a scoping study only and that these objectives are based on the information being readily available.
