New report says ILUC from waste-based biofuels could be higher than thought

In the UK, a new report by Cerulogy assesses the indirect emissions implications of producing biofuels from some of the waste materials listed in the European Commission’s REDII proposal, and of some that may be proposed as additions to the proposal as it is discussed in the European Council and Parliament. This study finds that indirect emissions are likely to be significant in most cases and can fundamentally change our understanding of the full climate impacts of using these materials for biofuels.
