This file provides the needed information for obtaining iLUC GHG emission data for any land use (arable, forest, grassland) in any country in the world. With background data, links and formulars.
This document summarizes our answers on comments/questions we have received regarding the draft results, which were delivered on 11th September 2023.
Extended abstract from the presentation by Jannick Schmidt J and Michele De Rosa at the SETAC Europe 28th Annual Meeting, Rome 13 17 May 2018. The slides for this presentation are available here: https://2-0-lca.com/wp-content/uploads/SETAC_Rome_Schmidt_DeRosa_Slides_20180515.pdf
CSV file for import in SimaPro. The file includes a corrected version of the market activity for N-fertilisers in ecoinvent v3.4. You should read the user-manual which is available for download here on the iLUC club web.
CSV file with the 2.-0 LCA iLUC model version 4.3. The model links to ecoinvent v3.4 consequential version (fertilizer from ecoinvent is used when modelling intensification in the iLUC model. Before importing into SimaPro, establish a parameter called “iLUC”. This is used for switching on/off iLUC. When you assign the value “1” to the parameter, iLUC is included, and when the value is “0”, the iLUC is excluded.

This article by de Rosa et al. (2016) compares six land use change (LUC) models according to fifteen criteria covering: modeling framework, impact categories assessed and model transparency. As LUC dynamics involve interdisciplinary knowledge, a combination of economic, biophysical and statistical data is required to achieve a robust assessment of complex LUC dynamics.

You can find input data for populating the conceptual framework of the iLUC model (described in the article available for download below) with numbers to make it operational. See section 3.5 in the file.
