As the glasshouse gardening sphere was able to resume its original course in price of polish and product , push use and CO2 emission of Dutch nursery horticulture increased in 2023 compared to 2022 . This was because , after the first one-fourth of 2023 , energy prices hark back to a more moderate level after a turbulent full point of one - and - a - half years of very gamey free energy toll . Research by Wageningen Economic Research shows that the gain in energy use and CO2 emissions of Dutch glasshouse horticulture in 2023 did not lead to gamy levels in the long time before 2022 .
get-up-and-go consumption in nursery gardening increased in 2023 , especially electrical energy use increasedA routine of effects powerfully influenced the development of energy manipulation by Dutch glasshouse gardening in 2023 . These core came as , after the first quarter of 2023 , DOE prices returned to a more temperate level after a turbulent period of one and a one-half years of very high energy prices . Due to these more moderate energy price and more perspective in the gross sales of raise intersection , greenhouse entrepreneurs mostly repackaged their original cultivation strategies , and extensification of cultivation ( less heating and less lighting resulting in lower production ) was mostly lift . However , a significant part of this full point ’s selective employment of muscularity ( include vigor conservation ) remain entire , so the increase in energy role ( +14 % ) did not reach pre-2022 levels .
Increase in CO2 emissions , but still far from pre-2022 levelsThe addition in Department of Energy use due to rebound effects in 2023 also drove CO2 emissions from greenhouse horticulture . The fact that CO2 emissions increase in 2023 liken to 2022 ( +5 % ) but did not reach pre-2022 levels was due to inherent factors . Besides the step-up in energy usage , the rise in electrical energy sales with natural gas CHP also had an up consequence . decrease in land area , increases in electricity purchases slight growth in renewable energy deployment , and purchase of non - sustainable heat from third parties dampened the increment .
Use of non - CO2 energy sources increase in 2023Despite renewable energy use ( +1 % ) and estrus procurement ( +9 % ) increasing only slightly in 2023 , the share of energy use from non - CO2 - emitting origin for greenhouse horticulture increased compared to 2022 . This was in the main because electrical energy purchase ( for lighting ) bounce more strongly ( +60 % ) than entire energy use increase ( +8 % ) . On equipoise , the part of energy from non - CO2 reservoir for nursery horticulture within total vitality use come to over 28 % in 2023 .
More electrical energy , but ontogeny dampened by LED lightness applicationDue to rally effects following , among other things , moderation in energy price , electricity production , purchase , sales event , and habituate increased on residual in 2023 compared to 2022 , but did not yet strive pre-2022 levels . electrical energy use ( +30 % ) and electrical energy purchase ( +60 % ) increase comparatively strongly , and the step-up in electrical energy output ( +7 % ) and electrical energy sales ( +7 % ) were less marked . The increase in use of goods and services , purchase , and partial product descend from the repackaging of mart - oriented refinement and the retrieval of the use of lighting in this regard . The increase was cushioned by the growth in the purpose of light-emitting diode systems for dismount alternatively of high - pressure Na lamps .
