Just to give some numbers:
The Dutch greenhouse horticulture sector has emitted 6-8 megatons of CO2 per year between 2000-2015 and emissions are expected to decrease to ~4 megatons of CO2 per year in 2020 [1]. 7 megatons is approximately 4% of national emissions [2].

- mytailorisrich 7y ago4% of national emissions is a lot considering the purpose here, and taking into account, as said, that the Netherlands emit quite a bit to begin with because of fossil fuels use (Wikipedia says they emitted twice as much as France per capita in 2014 [1], for example) [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions_per_capita https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_...
