Abstract

We propose a platform called “LCA-Multidimensional Map (LAMP)” to support companies and individuals aiming for CO 2 zero emissions (CZEs) by efficiently conducting life cycle assessments (LCAs) of their products and activities, collecting information necessary for CZEs, and developing CO 2 reduction plans. LAMP is a multidimensional platform that supports the development of CZEs targets in cyberspace without temporal or spatial constraints. Using this software, LCAs can be conducted using existing database groups constructed in two and three dimensions in various sectors as well as data groups with temporal information, such as evolving and continuous records, and spatial information in a cross-sectional manner. Furthermore, based on the LCA results, CO 2 -emission-reduction plans can be formulated (extraction of alternatives), and their effectiveness can be confirmed through LCA again. As an example of how to use LAMP, we introduce the characteristics of LCA in horticulture, the second-largest source of CO 2 emissions after livestock in the agricultural sector, along with examples of alternative plans for greenhouses, collaboration plans with other sectors, and basic methods for promoting CZEs in horticulture. Although this concept needs to be tested and validated in the future, it might encourage individuals or companies to cooperate in LAMP development or inspire them to advocate for more progressive ideas.
