Study on Carbon Footprint Calculation and Low-Carbon Development of Huangshan Tea—A Case Study of Huangshan Maofeng
Based on the research data of Xie Yuda Tea Co.Ltd,the paper uses the life cycle ap-proach to calculate the carbon footprint of Huangshan Maofeng.The results showed that:The total car-bon emission of 1 kg Huangshan Maofeng was 1.1926371 kgCe;The hot links of carbon emission were fertilizer application in the planting stage and power consumption in the production and processing stage,both accounting for 42%,with carbon emissions of 0.497582 kgCe/kg and 0.50025 kgCe/kg,re-spectively;The carbon emission of nitrogen fertilizer accounted for 39%.Based on this,the following countermeasures are proposed for the low-carbon development of Huangshan tea industry:Establishing a sound carbon label certification and carbon footprint evaluation system;Giving full play to the guiding role of the government in carbon emission reduction management activities;Constructing low-carbon eco-logical tea garden model according to local conditions.
