LUC Impact Dataset 2022 now available
Blonk’s LUC Impact Tool provides a predefined way of calculating greenhouse gas emissions from land use change (LUC). These emissions arise when land is transformed from one use to another, such as deforestation for the cultivation of crops such as soybean and oil palm. We use the Blonk LUC Impact Tool to generate our LUC Impact Datasets, which provide LUC greenhouse gas emissions for 9,000+ crop and country combinations.
An updated version of the LUC Impact Dataset (2022) is now available.
