Description
Sunyong Park, Kwang Cheol Oh, and DaeHyun Kim compare heating fuels for Korean greenhouses across climates in a 2026 cost assessment. Diesel, raw biomass, and two grades of heat-treated biomass were weighed for seven horticultural regions and three crops with distinct warmth needs. Fuel use and yearly cost were modeled with price sensitivity, equal efficiency, transport distance, and break-even checks.
Heating demand ran lowest in the warmest region and highest in the coldest for every crop, rising from strawberry to tomato to pepper. The most heavily treated biomass needed least fuel and cost least across all crops and regions under baseline terms. Its edge survived equal efficiency and transport tests, yet price mapping showed rivals winning in many price corners. The authors frame results as screening guidance, not farm bill forecasts.
