The study for Carbon Footprint of inorganic fertilizers have been proceeding since 2010, this year the results of customized fertilizer devised. Customized fertilizer to be considered soli testing and nutrient balance, fertilizers are produced by the formulation at main ingredient (N-P-K). There are currently being produced 30 products. In case of Korea, nitrogen balance and the usage of chemical fertilizers are higher than in OECD countries, excessive use of fertilizers can be a problem. Accordingly, the government has been encourages the use of customized fertilizer. In this study estimate the carbon footprint for 1 kg production of customized fertilizer, No. 16 by using LCA. In addition, the carbon footprint were compared customized fertilizer with single fertilizer. The carbon footprint of No. 16 was 8.00E-01 kg CO2 eq. kg-1. Next, customized fertilizer were analyzed 12.12% low-carbon than 9.11E-01 kg CO2 eq. kg-1 for single fertilizer when compared carbon footprint for customized fertilizer and single fertilizer. These results will be considered contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions in agricultural sector.
