A Comparative Analysis of the Development of the United States and European Union Biodiesel Industries

Palyi, Zoltan.

Megállapítható, hogy a bioetanol adózási helyzete kedvezőbb, mint a biodízelé. Az etanol forgalma dinamikusan növekszik. Magyarországon jelenleg több mint 200 benzinkúton kapható E85 üzemanyag. Annak érdekében, hogy Magyarországon legalább 10% legyen a közlekedési szektorban a „bio” arány, célszerű első lépésként az üzemanyagokban lévő biokomponens-arányt a jelenlegi 4,8%-ról 6,0%-ra, majd 1-2 év múlva 8,0%-ra emelni. A biodízelnél, például a B40- ---------------------------------------------- Apparently the status of bioethanol in terms of taxation is more favourable than that of biodiesel. Ethanol sales are growing dynamically. The E85 fuel is currently sold at more than 200 petrol stations in Hungary. In order to increase the share of “bio” to at...

A DYNAMIC GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM ANALYSIS OF U.S. BIOFUELS PRODUCTION

Carriquiry, Miguel A..

Worldwide production of biodiesel is growing at a rapid pace. Arguably, the European Union (EU) is the global leader in biodiesel production, but the United States has recently expanded its production. The growth of the biodiesel industry in both regions has been fueled by a series of government-provided financial incentives. However, the timing of the growth and incentive provisions, the nature of the main incentives, and the market conditions differ across regions. This article provides a comparative analysis of the EU and U.S. biodiesel industries, highlighting market and policy aspects that are leading to a rapid but distinct growth.

With the rising global interest in energy security and climate change mitigation, biofuels have gained the prominent attention of researchers and policy makers. The U.S. has emerged as the leading producer of biofuels and is aiming for achieving a target of 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels by 2022 under its updated renewable fuels standard (RFS2) policy. In this paper, we study the longer-term global implications of large-scale renewable fuels production in the U.S. We utilize the GTAP v7.1 data base and introduce a detailed breakdown of agricultural crops, first and second generation biofuels and by-products. We update this fully disaggregated data base to reflect the 2010 global economy, based on secondary data for the sectors and regions included....

This paper describes a global model for agriculture and bioenergy (GLOMAB) that incorporates biomass, biofuels and bioelectricity sectors into the GTAP-Energy model by expanding the global GTAP database, production and consumption structures. Biofuels are separated between first- generation (sugar ethanol, starch ethanol) and second- generation (cellulosic ethanol) biofuels and associated biomass feedstocks (maize, sugar cane, crop residues, woody biomass). Beside biofuels, the model also incorporates bioelectricity (as separate form conventional electricity) which competes for the same biomass feedstocks with cellulosic ethanol sector (agricultural residues, woody biomass). With this broad-based representation of the bioenergy system likely to prevail...

Analysis of the potential to supply 25% of projected 2025 U.S. transportation fuels indicates sufficient biomass resources are available to meet increased demand while simultaneously meeting food, feed, and export needs. Corn and soybeans continue to be important feedstocks for ethanol and biodiesel production, but cellulose feedstocks (agricultural crop residues, energy crops such as switchgrass, and forestry residues) will play a major role. Farm income increases, mostly because of higher crop prices. Increased crop prices increase the cost of producing biofuels.

Two seemingly unrelated topics are discussed- an outlook for biofuels in the southern United States, along with an overview of the important role that information technology is playing in the fuel ethanol industry. The outlook discussion is limited to issues involving the two principal biofuels, fuel ethanol and biodiesel, and their respective feed stocks, corn and soybean oil. The two topics are linked with a description of how information technology (IT) has enabled the development of the fuel ethanol franchise and a discussion of how IT is changing the very nature of biofuel operations.

ANÁLISIS DE BIENESTAR DE LOS “SHOCKS DE PRECIOS DE LOS COMMODITIES” EN LOS MERCADOS DE MAÍZ Y TRIGO EN MÉXICO

COLOMBO, G. de S.; MENDES, I. V.; SOUTO, B. de M.; PARACHIN, N.; ALMEIDA, J. R. M. de; QUIRINO, B. F..

A crise climática atual pressiona a substituição das fontes de energia de origem fóssil por alternativas sustentáveis. Nesse cenário, o bioetanol de segunda geração, produzido pela levedura Saccharomyces cerevisiae a partir da fermentação de açúcares presentes na biomassa lignocelulósica de restos agrícolas, representa uma alternativa para a gasolina. Porém, uma fração desta biomassa é composta por pentoses, como a xilose, incapazes de serem metabolizadas pela S. cerevisiae. A inserção de uma via metabólica para conversão direta da xilose em xilulose, um intermediário da via das pentose-fosfato quando fosforilada, por meio da enzima xilose isomerase, permite o consumo deste açúcar por S. cerevisiae, possibilitando um melhor aproveitamento da lignocelulose...

The impacts of biofuel-based commodity price shocks on wheat and maize producers and consumers in Mexico are quantified with a two-region welfare economics model of the world wheat and maize markets. This model captures the international flow of wheat and maize between Mexico and the rest of the world, enabling measurement of price and quantity changes in both Mexican and global wheat and maize markets due to supply shocks in the grain markets. The drastic shifts in supply that accompanied grain markets in 2007/2008 are used to quantify the effects on Mexican consumer and producer well-being.

Análisis de evolución de la producción de caña de azúcar y de etanol en Brasil.

ITURRA, A. R.; SILVA, F. C. da; DIAZ-AMBRONA, C. G. H..

Desde principios del siglo XX, Brasil era el uso de alcohol extraído de la caña de azúcar con fines energéticos. En 1931, el etanol de caña de azúcar comenzó a ser oficialmente mezclado con gasolina, hasta la fecha de importación. Sin embargo, no fue sino hasta 1975 con el lanzamiento del Programa Nacional del Alcohol (Programa de alcohol), el gobierno creó las condiciones necesarias para surgir el país a la vanguardia de los biocombustibles. Especificación temprana de alcohol (tipo anhidro e hidratado) se pusieron en marcha en 1979 y reformulado en 1989, después de las razones para el problema de investigación de la corrosión en los motores. En vista de la reducción de los precios del petróleo en los años 80, y el aumento en el precio del azúcar en el...

ANÁLISIS DE FACTIBILIDAD PARA LA INTRODUCCIÓN DEL BIODIESEL EN ECUADOR

Dominguez, Juan M.; Espinel, Ramon L..

Increases in petroleum prices have affected the prices of its derived products. In addition, the interest in issues related to the environment and energy security at world-wide level has been increased. All of these factors have contributed to the development of alternative fuel such as the ethanol, biodiesel and natural gas. This study analyzes the main agricultural products used to produce biodiesel, their production costs and the utilization of those inputs in other industries. This study will also include a brief summary of different legislations in those countries under analysis. On the other hand, we will find break-even points and apply a sensibility analysis associated with distinct scenarios in terms of input-output prices.

Analysing Government Decision Making in the South African Biofuels Industry: A Game Theoretic Approach

Funke, Thomas; Klein, Peter G..

The production of biofuels in many countries is largely driven by the government strategy and incentives that are in place. In South Africa the first round of the development of such a draft strategy took place in 2005 while the official stance on biofuels was finalized in December of 2007. During the policy development process various governmental departments had strategic goals and targets that they all were required to achieve. The achievement of these strategic targets and goals is also risky and the various departments that have some form of involvement in the biofuels industry need to decide on how much risk they are willing to take. This article sketches the game that the various governmental departments played as well as the risks that they were...

ANALYZING TRADE IMPLICATIONS OF U.S. BIOFUELS POLICIES IN A GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM FRAMEWORK

Birur, Dileep K.; Beach, Robert H..

As the biofuels are emerging as promising alternative transportation fuels across the world, they also offer huge potential for international trade in biofuels. A number of trade barriers such as import tariffs and domestic support have limited the scope for trade in biofuels. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implications of U.S. biofuel mandates, subsidies and import tariffs on global trade and welfare. We utilize the GTAP-BIO model, which was developed as a customized version of the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model capable of analyzing domestic and trade policy issues associated with biofuels (Birur, 2010). We supplement this model with updated and detailed sectoral level information on feedstock crops, different types of first and...

Bento, Antonio M.; Klotz, Richard; Landry, Joel R..

This paper applies the insights of the carbon leakage literature to study the emissions consequences of biofuel policies. We develop a simple analytic framework to decompose the intended emissions impacts of biofuel policy from four sources of carbon leakage: domestic fuel markets, domestic land markets, world land markets and world crude oil markets. A numerical simulation model illustrates the magnitude of each source of leakage for combinations of two current US biofuel policies: the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit (VEETC) and the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). In the presence of both land and fuel market leakage, current US biofuel policies are unlikely to reduce greenhouse gases. Four of the five policy scenarios we consider lead to increases in...
