Whoa! It turns out that the EU Community Emissions are 4x from the Indonesian community

January 30, 2021


Warta Ekonomi (Indonesia) wrote in an article that at a glance, the good intentions of the EU to question Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) emissions to reduce global emissions are very noble. Unfortunately, the EU is only eager to question palm oil emissions which are reducing world emissions. While the EU’s own emissions which include the top ten emitters of GHG (greenhouse gas / GHG) have gone ignored. Research results from IFPRI, European Commission (IFPRI-EC) “Global trade and environmental impact study of the EU biofuels mandate,” have revealed that the net emission of palm oil is minus 18.25 grams CO2 / MJ / year. up to minus 22.43 grams CO2 / MJ / year. The minus indicates that palm oil can reduce GHG emissions. The reason is that the productivity of palm oil reaches 6 – 10 times that of other vegetable oils.
