This paper develops a conceptual framework and a numerical simulation model of the fuel and agricultural sectors in the US to analyze the effects of the existing Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) that mandates the blending of specific volumes of low carbon biofuels with liquid fossil fuels and a...

Biofuel production is being promoted through various policies such as mandates and tax credits. This paper uses a dynamic, spatial, multi-market equilibrium model, Biofuel and Environmental Policy Analysis Model (BEPAM), to estimate the effects of these policies on cropland allocation, food and...

This paper uses a dynamic, multi-market, nonlinear mathematical programming model, Biofuel and Environmental Policy Analysis Model (BEPAM) to first examine the economically viable supply of agricultural biomass at various biomass prices and the mix of cellulosic feedstocks that will be produced...

Biofuel production is being promoted through various policies such as mandates and tax credits. This paper uses a dynamic, spatially explicit, multi-market equilibrium model, Biofuel and Environmental Policy Analysis Model (BEPAM), to estimate the effects of these policies on allocation of land...

This paper examines the economic and GHG implications of stacking a low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) with and without a carbon price policy on the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). We compare the performance of various policy combinations for food and fuel prices, fuel mix and fuel consumption. We...
