This document provides a brief summary of the methodology used to develop the following material which forms part of the main Gallagher Review report:
Graphs illustrating the range of GHG savings which can be achieved by different biofuels if they did not cause indirect land use change,
Estimates of the GHG saving which could be achieved by biofuel policies in Europe and globally if they did not cause land use change,
Estimates of the variation in carbon payback time based on conversion of different types of land.
The purpose of this summary is to provide details on the assumptions made. It does not provide a rationale for these assumptions or illustrate, in detail, calculations carried out.
