Abstract

The environmental benefits of biofuels continue to be debated. Recent attention focuses on biofuel-induced land use changes and their impact on greenhouse gas emissions. We develop an international, multi-commodity, partial equilibrium model and measure the impact of US and EU biofuel production on land use as well as the associated greenhouse gas emissions. We find these measures to be sensitive to changes in assumptions, specifically relating to yields. We note the possibility of offsetting cross-commodity effects. We identify the context and time path as previously unrecognized sources of variation and potential error in greenhouse gas calculations.

1
In the US, the Renewable Fuel Standard mandates that an auditor verifies feedstocks used by a producer or importer of renewable fuel meet the definition of renewable biomass in order to qualify for the biofuel mandates. In practice, the auditor makes an assessment by obtaining supporting documentation related to feedstock purchases. The definition of renewable biomass in US legislation excludes feedstocks from land that is new to agricultural production or managed forest [22]. US regulations to implement these biofuel use mandates demand that foreign-made biofuels also meet this requirement [29].

The updating consists of using more recent data representing crop production, harvested area, forest areas, gross capital formation, labor force (skilled and unskilled), gross domestic product, and population for the whole world at the country level and adjusting simulated harvested area and forest land use to match observed data (p. 23).
 
3
Brazil’s sugar-ethanol production is not changed in this analysis.
 
4
This increase is slightly greater than the relative increase in total production of beef, pork, or poultry, and reflects changes in composition and location of meat production as some regional practices generate more emissions than others.
