Palm oil

Indonesia

The total area deforested for industrial oil palm plantations in hectares in the selected year

Indonesia - Annual palm deforestation (industrial)

Annual greenhouse gas emissions from peat subsidence linked to palm oil production. The emissions are calculated based on the area of palm oil plantations on peat multiplied by an emission factor of 90 t CO₂-eq./ha following Cooper et al. (2020)

Indonesia - Emissions from peat subsidence

Gross greenhouse gas emissions from annual oil palm deforestation and non-forest land conversions (industrial). Estimates are based on the total biomass removal stored in above- and below-ground biomass in forest and non-forest land covers (excl. soil carbon). CO₂-eq were derived by multiplying carbon stocks by 3.67.

Indonesia - Gross emissions from land-use change

Net greenhouse gas emissions from annual oil palm deforestation and non-forest conversion (industrial) were calculated as the difference between gross emissions from oil palm land-use change and sequestration in new oil palm plantations.
