A new Indonesian model finds an average carbon sink across selected oil-palm sites, but a source phase in plantation years four to eight. It is not a climate score for palm oil. Published 21 October, it modelled 25 North Sumatra sites drawn from areas previously identified as low-emission, not a representative sample of all production. Kenya’s relevance is import exposure; the model does not trace local product origins or full footprints.
