1 The economics of biofuels, food and the environment David Zilberman, Deepak Rajagopal, Steven Sexton, Gal Hochman and Teresa Serra Presented in the S-1043 regional Research Group-Impacts of trade and Domestic Polices on Competitiveness and Performance of Southern Agriculture Research leading to this study was supported by the EBI and USDA
2 Over View Background On the relationship between oil and energy Some numbers R&D productivity and biotech Biofuels and the environment-lca Biofuel and the future of agriculture
3 Biofuel And the Food Market-short term analysis $ $ Market for Food and Energy Crops Food Demand Joint Demand Supply Biofuel Demand Supply w/ GMO Ag Expansion Crop Quantity Quantity
4 The Basic Economics of Biofuel Introduction of Biofuels: Increased food prices; and Reduces food availability The effects can be countered by: Increased agricultural and conversion productivity Second generation biofuels Ag Biotech
5 Biofuel impacts depend on responsiveness of quantities to prices The less responsive fuel quantities are to fuel price changes higher will be the impact of ethanol on gasoline price The more responsive food quantities are to food price changes lesser will be the impact of ethanol on food price Therefore we estimate the impact on prices under three different scenarios of responsiveness of supply and demand
6 Three scenarios with three sets of elasticities Own price supply elasticities High Mid Low Corn Soy Gas Own price demand elasticities Corn Soy Gas
7 About the Scenarios High scenario: Inelastic gas demand and supply; Elastic corn, soy demand and supply Low scenario: Elastic gas demand and supply; Inelastic corn, soy demand and supply Mid scenario: In between High scenario should have the highest benefits due to biofuel consumption while the low scenario should have the least benefits
8 Simulating the impact of US biofuel on food and gas prices Average US gasoline price in 2007 Average US corn price in 2007 Average US soybean price in $2.84 per gallon - $4.72 per bushel - $10.34 per bushel High Mid Low Change in gas price -2.3% -1.8% -1.4% Change in corn price 18% 24% 39% Change in soy price 11% 15% 24% Changes show what actual prices were compared to a scenario that would have existed if there were no biofuels
9 N e t b Net benefits to producers of corn and soy due to US ethanol supply in All producers US Producers ROW producers High Mid Low
10 N e t b e n e Net benefits to consumers in the US from US ethanol supply in 2007 (net of subsidy) All US consumers US Gasoline consumers US Corn,Soy consumers High Mid Low
11 N e t b e n Net benefits to ROW consumers from US ethanol supply in All ROW consumers ROW Gasoline consumers ROW Corn and Soy consumers High Mid Low
12 N e t b e Net change in consumer and ag. producer surplus (net of subsidy) Global welfare change US welfare change ROW welfare change High Mid Low Note: Does not include change in surplus for gasoline producers And the environment
13 Impact of Opec This analysis ignored the fact that opec is a cartel of nation Considering OPEC the impacts of biofuel- The price effect is smaller (-1`%) than under competition But less gasoline is consumed- OPEC reduces supply A significant GHG reduction effect
14 Biofuel Policies: subsidies and mandate Subsidies- in the US,of about$.50/gallon, provide extra incentive to invest in biofuels They tend to increase demand for feed stock Increase price of food Reduce food availability Because of a tariff - the subsidy is not available to foreign provider of biofuel- Brazil But brazil subsidies is own growers When food demand is sufficiently high even with subsidy it curtails biofuel production- safety valve for food and source of instability to industry
15 Oil Price High subsidy will make biofuel profitable at higher food prices or lower gas prices Initial Breakeven line Gas price P G With subsidy With subsidy and increase in production efficiency P 0 P 1 P 2 Crop Price

18 Ethanol prices will grow with corn ( sugar) prices Subsidies and supply restricting tariffs Gasoline prices Mandates size They will decline with Fuel taxes Ethanol prices may in turn affect the dynamics of gasoline and corn prices We tried to trace the dynamic adjustment between gasoline, ethanol and corn in the US Factor affecting ethanol price dynamics in US
19 The weighted adjustment function G( ) is nonlinear function depend on dynamic variation in the system Dynamic analysis of of co-evolution of corn ethanol and gasoline prices We used an threshold-vector error correction models (TVECM) With data from Nebraska in the US. TVECM assume that the transitions are abrupt and discontinuous- affected by heterogeneity and transaction costs that results in lag structures that are estimated. They assume a evolved equilibrium P ethanol (1 G( )) P lagged gasoline G( ) P Lagged corn
20 The prices of biofuel relative to fuel and food Figure 1. Price Series
21 The Relative weight of lagged corn and Gasoline price in changing ethanol prices Gasoline matters
22 Results of econometrics analysis The price of ethanol is positively related to corn and gasoline prices. The change in weight of corn or gasoline price is non linear in response to shocks Ethanol responses to gasoline price shocks are quicker than reactions to corn price changes. These latter however are bigger in magnitude. Weight of Gasoline prices increased in the 2000s Ethanol prices Peak when mandates are binding (MTBE 2006) During the 2000s when gasoline prices rose ethanol was priced above gasoline when corn price was declining and above it when corn prices was rising
23 The impact of adverse food supply shock on biofuel Adverse food market shocks (inventory demand, lower supply)-make corn biofuel unprofitable- may lead to bankruptciesindustry in inherently ubstable
24 Food and the Volatility of biofuels prices- Corn and wheat etahnol and palm biodiesel became unprofitable because of higher food prices in Sugar cane ethanol is still profitable- sugar price less volatile- essential value proposition is better Refiners lost money buying feed stocks Second generation may be competing with food crops on resources but the volatility because of multiple use may not be there But contract payment will have to take into account the price variability of competing ( in terms fo land) food crops
25 Short term vs long term price effects of biofuels The impacts of biofuel on food prices has been accumulating The % increases we attribute to biofuel based on short tem elasticities are lower bounds Continuing shortages, negative supply shocks ( Australia) and expectation for higher price may push for 50-70% price effects as suggested by the world bank But small changes in supply relieving the pressure could have done wonders

34 Crops with high adoption of GMO did better Cotton and corn fare better than wheat and rice Productivity enhancement is essential to restore reasonable eqilibrium Short term use all the tools that work Long term invest more in ag research
35 Biofuel and Climate Change Biofuel is not fully renewable-energy is needed for producing inputs, production and processing. Processing may lead some biofuels to emits 18% more GHG than gasoline (tar sand emit 1.5 GHG that Saudi oil) US Corn ethanol meets between 40% less to 20% more than gasoline- but it better than tar sands Sugarcane ethanol emits 60% less than oil much less than corn. Wheat ethanol is worse than Corn, palm oil for biodiesel much better But impact of Biofuels on climate change is difficult to figure out leading to methodological studies with policy implication Key tool life cycle analysis which distinguished between direct and indirect effects
36 g CO2e / lit Direct emissions - Lifecycle of corn ethanol in US Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Various Stages of Corn Ethanol Production in US (Assuming no land use change emissions) 70% 60% 50% Field Emissions Production and Use 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Irrigation Farm machinery Transport (inputs) Electricity Potassium Pesticide Phosphorus Natural Gas and LPG Lime Gasoline and Diesel (on farm) Nitrogen fertilizer Transport of feedstock Process heat (Coal+NG) Other processing Based on EBAMM data of Farrell et al. (Science 2006)
37 Illustration - GHG impact of fuel switching by biorefineries (based on Farrel et-al) Switching to pure coal based biorefining reduces GHG benefits by 50%, while switching to pure gas based biorefining increases GHG benefits by 130% compared to average case net GHG displacement based on source of energy used in biorefining of corn in US kg CO2e/liter of ethanol % change compared to average plant Average plant which uses both coal and gas today (Farrell et al. Science 2006) Coal only % Gas only %
38 Illustration - GHG impact of fuel switching in fertilizer production Switching to pure coal based nitrogen fertilizer reduces GHG benefits by 63% compared to average case net GHG displacement based on source of fuel used in producing N-fertilizer kg CO2e/liter of ethanol % change compared to average plant Average fertilizer production (90% Gas +10% coal) (Farrell et al. Science 2006) Coal only %
39 Illustration Combined effect There is a net increase in GHG emissions and so there corn ethanol is worse than gasoline net GHG displacement based on source of fuel used in producing N-fertilizer kg CO2e/liter of ethanol % change compared to average plant Average fertilizer production (90% Gas +10% coal) (Farrell et al. Science 2006) Coal only % A greater than 100% reduction in net GHG displacement implies overall increase in emissions compared to baseline
40 LCA ignores behavior No induce innovation Minimal attention to heterogeneity No input substitution in response to price changes No learning by doing No capacity to deal with impacts of policies
41 G HG e m i ss i o n s i n Direct emissions Direct emissions from US Corn Ethanol under various scenarios Gasoline 94 gco 2 e/mj 50 0 Baseline (Farrell et al.) Coal based processing Gas based processing High efficiency scenario Baseline: Emissions from Farrell et al. (Science 2006) Scenario 1: Coal based biorefining all else equal to Baseline Scenario 2: Natural gas based biorefining all else equal to Baseline Scenario 4: NG gas based biorefining, 39% improvement in corn yield, 25% reduction in energy for processing and all else equal to Baseline Learning by doing result in increased numbers of with highre processing efficiency so average emission is declining for the same mix of fuel
42 Indirect Emissions Emissions accompanying induced expansion or intensification of agriculture Example of extensification is induced conversion of non-cropland such as pastures or forestland to agriculture Example of intensification is greater use of energy-intensive inputs like fertilizers in response to increase in output prices Unlike direct emissions they cannot be traced to a single biofuel producer and they may occur at locations far away from a biofuel production site
43 Indirect Emissions These effects arise from interaction of markets for several commodities and across the globe Land may not be converted directly to be planted with bioenergy crop but planted to a crop displaced by biofuel crop Corn displaces soy in US Reduction in soy exports from US Increase in soy acreage in Brazil displacing pastures Forest cleared in Brazil for pasture land Results in release of carbon stored in
44 Searchinger et al. s estimate Mandate of 56 billion liters of ethanol in US (assumed to be corn based) 140 million tonnes of 2.7 gallons of ethanol per bushel of corn Global agricultural acreage to expand by 10.8 million hectares
45 Alternative calculation Land use change can be hypothesized using historical data on elasticity of acreage with respect to output Between 1950 and 1998, global agricultural output increased 150% while harvested acreage increased only 13% implying elasticity, L/ Q LL % QQ 1.5 i.e, historically when output increased by 100% land under agriculture increased by 9% Using this value, expansion is 3.3 million hectares
46 G H G e m i s Indirect emissions Average indirect emissions due to US Mandate of 56 billion litres of corn Ethanol Searchinger Back of envelope* *: Back of envelope calculation based on aggregate elasticity of acreage between 1950 and Disaggregating elasticities into smaller time periods and for different crops actually shows variation in elasticities. Needs further investigation
47 G HG e m i s s i on s i Biofuels and GHG emission Controlling direct & indirect emissions is crucial Comparing Gasoline and US Corn Ethanol 200 Indirect land use change emissions Direct Emissions Gasoline 94 gco 2 e/mj 50 0 US Ethanol Today Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3 Scenario 4 Scenario 1: Coal based biorefining (increases direct emissions) Scenario 2: Natural gas based biorefining (lowers direct emissions) Scenario 3: NG based biorefining and Indirect emissions equal to 1/3rd of Searchinger et al. s estimate Scenario 4: NG gas based biorefining, 39% improvement in corn yield, 25% reduction in energy for processing and indirect emissions equaling 1/3rd of Searchinger et al. s estimate
48 There are many indirect effects of biofuel OPEC effect -biofuel reduces OPEC productionmorreduces GHG Tar-sand effect-biofuel reduces price of oil reduces incentives to Tar sand- and GHG Learning by doing improved technology Concentrating on one indirect effect is not good policy
49 GHG of biofuel depends on policy Low carbon fuel standards (LFCS) generates less GHG than Renewable fuel standards (RFS)+ Mandates LCFS may reduce introduction of tar sand Carbon taxes or cap and trade-are more efficient- Will induce adoption of biofuel if carbon price is high ALSO-Trigger Pollution reducing innovations But require Political will Monitoring and enforcement effort
50 ifecycle numbers are function of policy A policy such as carbon tax that increases the relative price of coal could lower the intensity of coal use in production of biofuel and lower the carbon footprint Emission intensity Energy Price Fuel source (ton C/Gigajoule) $/Gigajoule Coal Gas Carbon tax in $/ton $5/ton $10/ton $15/ton % increase price of coal relative to natural gas % increase GHG benefits relative to baseline* 117% 228% 383% * Baseline is direct emissions for corn ethanol from Farrell et al. (Science 2006)
51 First and Second Generation biofuels If processors have to meet higher environmental standards it will reduce the amount paid for biofuel. Payment for environmental contributions at the farm level (carbon sequestration, residue reduction) is likely to affect crop and technology choices and the geographic distribution of biofuel crops But whatever we do, productivity matters. Except of sugar cane, sweet sorghum, and some oil crops, the first generation of biofuels have limited capacity to address climate change concerns. We need to be able to process celluloids.
52 Productivity Matters CROP Harvestable Biomass (tons/ acre) Ethanol (gal/acr e) Million acres needed for 35 billion gallons of ethanol % 2006 harvested US cropland 5 Corn grain Corn stover Corn Total Prairie Switchgrass Miscanthus Source:Steve Long
53 Food security is the major concern Solutions Food aid fund Smaller ( flexible mandates) Supply expansion in a sustainable (and non exploitive way) High food prices will lead to supply expansion Eastern Europe where yields are half than the west Africa and Latin America has regions of unutilized ag production potential May lead to introduction of second generation biotechnology (Gates) and enhanced development of second generation biofuel
54 The Future of Biofuel is Dependent Upon Innovation Need better feedstock Cleaner processing Higher productivity agriculture Dissemination and access to technology Lessons of electronics and biotech: Emergence of educational industrial complex Public/private partnership in R&D and infrastructure Technology transfer, start-ups Evolution of industry affected by IPR and regulation IPR: access, sharing arrangement and enforcement Regulations: land use, carbon content
55 Cheap and clean fuel and food Require more R&D investment and sound regulations Ag research has been deemphasized and over regulated in recent year Food productivity- except of some crop stagnating Expansion of food and fuel with small or no expansion of land base will be feasible with Increased productivity of underperforming regions and crops Increased agricultural knowledge and investment Improved policies and institutions Introduction and Adoption of new technologies
56 The bottom line Biofuel already contributes to reduced fuel prices (<3% in 2006 more in 2007), but raises food prices (>20%, maybe up to 50%) Largest price increases are in rice and wheat, perhaps due to under-use of new technologies Recent growth in agriculture has not been linear in land. Incentives and technologies led to increased food supply with much less than proportional land expansion There is ample under-performing or abandoned farmland and degraded or under-utilized land that would allow expansion w/o significant GHG and resource consequences. It all depends on policy, which reflects our commitment to meeting food, fuel and environmental objectives. We must consider alternatives: what will happen if we abandon biofuel opportunities
57 Integration of Agricultural, Energy and Environmental Policies Traditional commodity support program becomes redundant Biofuel mandates and support: Should be examined critically- in many cases should be eliminated Should be linked to environmental performance and food situation ( differentiate based on emissions) May provide insurance Government may help establish biofuel industry, then it must compete. Food security funds Certification of biofuel sources- at both micro and macro levels Emphasis on innovation
58 Can you return the genie to the bottle? NO- you can have smaller mandates But people will prefer their gas tank over other people stomachs Political economy- cheap food and fuel are cornerstone deliverable of many governments- oil is subsidized Biofuel is seen as a opportunity to increase agriculture and rural well Feasible Intervenetions Improved technologies Less market distortions More correction for environmental side effects
59 Biofuel in bigger context Biofuel is a part of a bigger puzzle Its importance stems from importance of liquid fuel Battery development will change it direction (emphasis on feed for power) Progress of other power sources Introduction of incentive for conservation Sound pricing of GHG and the Environment Investment in Public transit Change in building codes and population spread Will affect value and design of biofuel sector and policies
60 Biofuel and developing countries Not every country needs biofuel policy It has no place when biofuels can not compete with existing crops or imposes high environmental costs (net social benefit is negative ) It can help countries with underutilized appropriate resources- if introduced with a sound regulatory framework Many concerns can be addressed refineries can buy from cooperatives of small farmers Pollution control polices can control emission etc Second generation crop can reduce cost and increased gains
61 What s next-in biofuel research: Industrial organization Economics of biofuel and other fuels OPEC response to biofuels Biofuels and other renewables Alternative supply chain design and their implications The innovations systems (R&D,IPR) and their impacts on biofuels and other fuels Pricing and product and networks design
62 Adoption and contracts Adoption of Biofuels varies by locations and according to economic and biophysical conditions Depends on contractual features Legal framework Research needs to quantify these relationships Come up with superior contract features (from various perspectives) Sound principles for policy design under various conditions Emphasize risk management issues
63 Biofuels in the context of global economy Biofuels and the macro economy Sensitivity to business cycles and financial conditions Attitudes and acceptance Biofuels in the developing world Case studies Distributional impacts under alternative designs Biodiversity and environmental issues
