Reduction of GHG Emissions From Ships
This document comments on the report of the third meeting of the GESAMP-LCA Working Group, highlighting the need for a robust, regular, and evidence-based assessment of the global ILUC risk for crop feedstocks used in the production of maritime biofuels. It suggests quantitative assessment as the main criterion for the suggested high-risk category, and provides parameters used in existing frameworks to inform the development of a similar approach within the qualitative ILUC risk-assessment.
