| Abstract: |
| In the last five years Indonesian palm oil production grew by 13.41% per year, with
growth in export at 16.24% per year and slow growth in domestic consumption. Oil
palm production in Indonesia and Malaysia is now in the focus of the debates on
Biofuel and Carbondioxide (CO ) and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, through 2
its association in the public debate with deforestation and (over)use of peatland. The
potential use of palm oil as biodiesel to reduce dependency on, and emissions from, the
use of fossil fuel has focused debate on the emissions caused by the conversion of land
to oil palm and subsequent steps in the production. |
