growing feedstock for ethanol (corn, sorghum, wheat,sugarcane, and other grains) and major crops competing with feedstock for … land resources suchas oilseeds. We shock the model with exogenous changes in ethanol demand, first in the UnitedStates … for ethanol. Land moves awayfrom major crops and pasture competing for resources with feedstock crops. Because of the …

Rapid growth in fuel ethanol production in the U.S. will create pressure on infrastructure both in the near term and … the longer term. Currently the vast majority of fuel ethanol produced is grain based with corn based feedstocks dwarfing … the quantity of all other grain feedstocks. In the future it is expected that biomass based ethanol production will also …

this end, first a baseline is set up for the EU-27 ethanol, grain, and dried distillers grains markets. In the next step … with the ethanol import tariffs in place. The second scenario incorporates the same shock with the ethanol import tariffs … removed. In the first scenario, higher crude oil prices increase ethanol consumption, production, and therefore grain prices …

A global multi-commodity simulation model was developed to estimate the impact of changes in ethanol production on the … U.S. corn industry. Increased ethanol production under the Energy Acts of 2005 and 2007 resulted in a significant … increase in the price of corn. However, for corn-based ethanol production, the break-even price of corn is approximately $4 …

Corn stover harvest and transport cost functions were estimated for two harvest operations for a proposed biomass-to-ethanol … cost for 50MM gal/year of ethanol output was estimated at $54/dt ($0.77/gal ethanol) for the more intensive harvest method … 50MM gal ethanol output, with an $11 ($9) standard deviation. Costs were found to be at or below $62/dt 90 percent of the …

This paper uses a simultaneous equation system to determine the impact of ethanol fuel production on the U.S. motor … gasoline market, especially gasoline prices. Based on estimation results, every billion gallon increase in ethanol production …

This study measures the impact of corn-based ethanol production in the United States on land use in other countries, or … food that were diverted elsewhere to biofuel production. The results show that increasing ethanol production in the US has … that increased ethanol production in the U.S. will increase corn prices, which will result in increased change in land use …

Firms producing ethanol may find management of the price risk associated with production of this leading alternative …

The share of corn used in ethanol production has been growing rapidly. USDA predicts that more than 30 percent of the … corn crop will be used for ethanol production in 2009/2010. Expanded corn acreage contributes to the application of more … ethanol production is consistent with a significant increase in quality-adjusted fertilizer use in selected corn states. …

We use the wavelet coherence methodology to investigate relations between prices of ethanol and its feedstocks. Our … the most important ethanol markets – Brazil and the USA. For both of these markets we show that the long-run relationship … between prices of ethanol and corn (in USA) or sugar (in Brazil) is positive, strong and stable in time. Importantly, we show …
