Pie chart showing the relative contribution of emission sources to violet total carbon footprint (excluding photosynthetic absorption). Solvent extraction fuel dominates at 97.3% of total emissions (27,248 kg CO2-eq/feddan), dwarfing contributions from fertilizer production (0.3%) and composting (2.4%). This extreme concentration identifies fuel-to-solvent heating as the critical intervention point for emissions reduction. Key Takeaway: Solvent extraction fuel represents the overwhelming hotspot (over 97%) in violet production.
