5 The RED methodology for calculating the GHG emission savings of biofuels GHG emission saving of biofuel is calculated as a relative emission reduction compared to fossil fuel: EMISSION SAVING = (EF-EB)/EF, where EF = total emissions from the fossil fuel comparator (83,8 gco2eq/mj) EB = total emissions from the biofuel or bioliquid. Energy-based allocation (by lower heating value of the products) Source: Soimakallio & Koponen 2011: Biomass and bioenergy 35, 3504-3513
6 Probability distributions of forest residue and stump-based FT-diesel: The emission of soil carbon stock change is first excluded and then included with three different time scales (20, 50, 100a). The mean value and the 2.5 and 97.5%ile values are presented in the brackets, respectively. Source: Koponen et al. 2012 (submitted manuscript)
