Abstract: The quantification of CO2 emissions from indirect land use change (ILUC) is proposed by some stakeholders for the inclusion in carbon footprints (CF) of biofuels. The ILUC concept does not appropriately consider so far that each ILUC of a biofuel is direct land use change (DLUC) of another product. This leads to either double counting or free-rider incentives. The articles purpose is to introduce and test inter-crops-allocation (ICA); this new approach allocates CO2 emissions from natural ecosystem conversion between all agricultural activities responsible for the land use change - be it directly or indirectly.
