Create linkage between biofuel demand and land sector #91

Closed robbieorvis closed 4 years ago

robbieorvis commented 4 years ago

In a call with WRI Indonesia, Arief pointed out how the government is evaluating biodiesel policies that could have a profound impact on land related emissions since it involves displacing land to grow palm oil within Indonesia. Now that we are updating the Indonesia model and also finishing the Brazil (where ethanol produced domestically is used in vehicles) model, it may make sense to revisit the idea of linking biofuel demand with land use emissions. WRI Indonesia has offered to share insights on this relationship if we want to consider building it into the model.
