When we gradually increased the implemented substitution rate from 0.5 to 5, the estimated ILUC emissions values for soy biodiesel followed an increasing trend with a diminishing rate from 10.16 g CO 2 e MJ −1 to 14.9 g CO 2 e MJ −1 , The results of these tests indicate that as we apply larger substitution elasticities among vegetable oils, the estimated ILUC emissions value for soy biodiesel converges towards the base case results.
