CO 2 demand-supply balance in a composting-based closed-loop plant factories.

Abstract: Abstract Carbon dioxide enrichment is a technique employed in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) systems (i.e., vertical farms) to improve crop yield. However, the CO 2 for enrichment is sourced from fossil fuels, increasing the carbon footprint of these operations by adding CO 2 to the atmosphere. Sourcing CO 2 from biowaste instead can be a more sustainable option. Particularly, composting crop residues generated in CEA systems can generate CO 2 while valorizing biowaste. This study assesses the possibility of meeting the CO 2 demand for enrichment in a CEA system by composting residues of baby lettuce - the most common crop grown in CEA systems. Using theoretical modelling, we estimated the CO 2 required to grow baby lettuce in a hypothetical CEA system at an enriched CO 2 concentration of 1000 ppm. The CO 2 derivable by composting lettuce residues generated by a CEA system with two different types of hydroponic system (mat- and plug-based) was determined through aerobic incubation and CO 2 respirometry. Depending on the hydroponic system, composting crop residues generated in the hypothetical CEA system could produce around 1.4-6% of the total CO 2 required for enrichment. Comparing the estimated demand versus supply of CO 2 on a mass basis showed that composting crop residues alone is likely insufficient to meet the enrichment demands of a CEA system growing baby lettuce at 1000 ppm. Additional biomass (e.g., source separated urban biowaste) might be required to meet the CO 2 demand for enrichment solely through composting.
