Amortization period

The number of years over which a one-off land-use emission is spread when it is converted into a per-megajoule figure. A longer period makes the same emission look smaller per year. GLOBIOM's palm value is 231 g CO₂e/MJ over 20 years, 185 g over CORSIA's 25 years and about 154 g over 30 years.
