PAGE 1: GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS SPREADSHEET FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTUREHOW TO USE THIS SPREADSHEET

1 Decide whether your project involved energy use in both field and factory.If it ONLY involves the field section then ignore Page 3For plantation projects include transport of crop to factory as part of field use.

2 Complete Spreadsheet Page 2. Units should be entered in column E from the drop down menu.If you have the required data but it is not in the correct form i.e. it is not in the drop down menu, then write a note inthe comments page and then:

Either convert them yourself or use an on line converter such as http://www.onlineconversion.comOr contact Sustainable Agriculture Team

Cells marked * are essential and must be completed. Error messages will appear if these are not.

3 If the factory is being included complete Page 3. Otherwise, ignore the page and go directly to Page 4: Results.

4 Now go to Page 4: Results. This page shows the following:- energy efficiency- % renewable energy- greenhouse gas production &- polluting gaseous emissions (eg NH3 and NO)

If error messages appear, they should be self explanatory.

Now please continue to Page 2 Field Data Entry

AssumptionsEnergyElectricity data for most countries is now provided. Where country is not stated the regional figure should be used.Burn efficiency of fuels is 100%. Biomass fuels are all carbon neutral, ie no related CO2 emissions.Biofuels ie bioethanol and biodiesel are estimated at 50% emissions of the fossil fuel alternative ie petrol and diesel respectivelyCO2 emissions from imported wood are included in the total since it is grown off site.Emissions from different types of coal are all the same.Furnace oil is a 'medium' oil ie half way between heavy and light.Vehicle fuel consumption: Based on Transport Statistics Great Britain 2005, Dept for Transport, Published Oct 2005

car - petrol - 30mpg; diesel - 40 mpghgv - rigid - 8.3mpg; articulated - 7.9mpgPercentage National renewable energy is calculated using hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, wood, wind and waste as renewable.Assume steam energy is produced from fuel oil

Greenhouse gases and GWP

Atomic weight N=14, O=16, H=1; convert kg N to: a) kg NH3 multiply by 14/17, b) kg N2O multiply by 14/44, c) kg NO multiply by 14/30 The production of biofuels assumes no land use change and therefore no associated land use change GHG emissions.

Fertilisers

With regards to the nitrogen related emissions - assume tea and palm oil are "other upland crops" - Lex Bouwman pers.com.Fertiliser NPK contents are averaged from various reference sources. See Fertiliser page.

Units: fluid ounces - these are US units, pounds and ounces are Avoirdupois - the most commonly used of the two pounds as weight versions.

Animal manure has embodied energy of zero. Energy used in application will be accounted for in operational fuel use.

Global warming potentials shown as CO2 equivalents: N2O is 296 times more powerful, CH4 is 23 times more powerful - IPCC Third Assessment Report

Fertiliser emissions of N20, NO and NH3 are based on the 2002 Bouwman model. This is to allow flexibility of management techniques to improve emissions. The Bouman model calculates median NH3 volatilization rates with a variance of around 30%. This means that the NH3 calcuation results "are of more interest when the working scale is that of landscapes rather than point measurement done under specific conditions."

No embodied energy figure for Ammonium Bicarbonate (ABC) was found so an average of Ammonium nitrate, sulphate and anhydrous ammonia was used.

0 CEC 'Calculator'

The Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) can be estimated easily from three factors: (1) the pH, (2) the Organic C content (Organic C = Organic matter / 1.72) and(3) the Clay content of a soil.Note that the unit for CEC is centimal per kilogram (cmol/kg). In the past, 'meq / 100 g' was often used. Conveniently, it has the same numerical value as 'cmol / kg' so the two units are interchangeable without changing the number.The simple table below produces an estimate using these three factors and is used in the GHG calculator.

Fertiliser Methodology

Percentage of Active Ingredient1. A number of reputable websites and papers were used to develop a table of percentage active ingredient

3. For the purposes of the footprinting calculator, the median figure (middle) was taken where a range was given or two websites gave differing values. 4. The estate manager selects the active ingredient and this automatically selects the correct EE and GWP figures.See Fertiliser % Active Ingredient worksheet for figures and references

Embodied Energy1. Embodied energy figures were sourced from a number of reputable papers for each fertiliser to be included on the calculator.

4. It was assumed that there was no energy involved in the making of urine, animal manure or from grazing.

Global Warming Potential

2. GWP figures were calculated on the 100 years time scale.

Field Emissions1. A spreadsheet was developed using work developed by Alex Bouwman (et al). The formulae and data provided in the following papers:

Embodied energy in a fertiliser is dependent on the percentage of active ingredient and the embodied energy figures for that active ingredient. It was possible to find the "usual" percentage of active ingredient within each fertiliser or type of fertiliser. The embodied energy figures can then be calculated for the amount of fertiliser used.

2. The figures were then transcribed to the list of fertilisers and pop up when the fertiliser is chosen. If it differs the estate manager is encouraged to contact Unilever.

2. Figures for each fertiliser were chosen from the selection. The order of priority for the references were as follows: Ecoinvent, LCA Silsoe, Audsley 2003, University of Florida.

3. Where figures had not been found for fertilisers or for general terms such as other N and K fertilisers assumptions were made. These assumptions were input into the reference section of the spreadsheet

1. GWP figures were obtained from Ecoinvent, LCA Silsoe or calculated from embodied energy figures that were broken into the various different categories of electricity type.

Agrochemicals Methodology

1. Two main references were used for this section:E Audsley, S Alber, E Gemeinschaften (1997) Harmonisation of environmental life cycle assessment for agriculture- European Comm., DG VI AgricultureGreen, MB (1987) Energy in pesticide manufacture, distribution and use. In: Energy in Plant Nutrition and Pest Control (Helsel, ZR, ed.), pp. 165-1772. Both references were put into spreadsheets (See Agrochemicals Audsley and Agrochemicals Green)3. Each agrochemical was categorised as: herbicide, insecticide, fungicide or plant growth regulator4. For each agrochemical the embodied energy breakdown and therefore the GWP 100 (using IPCC 2001) were calculated5. For each category the average energy used and GWP were calculated. 6. The two sets of averages from the two references were compared. The Audsley figures being more recent and generally higher were chosen.

7. A spreadsheet was created to allow estate managers to calculate their overall application of the four types of agrochemicals. These figures can then be directly transferred to the main input page. This spreadsheet can be found in Appendix 2 Agrochemicals Calculator of the GHG calculator
