GLOBIOM

Also called Global Biosphere Management Model

An economic model of global agriculture, forestry and bioenergy land use developed by IIASA in Austria. It tends to produce high ILUC values for vegetable oils because it models strong substitution toward palm, including palm expansion onto peat. Its analysis for the European Commission gave 231 g CO₂e/MJ for palm, 150 g for soybean and 65 g for rapeseed over 20 years.
