Targets and mandates : lessons learned from EU and US biofuels policy mechanisms
(AgBioForum, 2010)
The United States and the European Union have taken different paths in the design and implementation of biofuel policy measures. In the European Union, a target has been set for the contribution of renewable energy in transport use, but policy...
The role of biofuel policy and biotechnology in the development of the ethanol industry in the United States
(AgBioForum, 2013)
The US Renewable Fuel Standard sets a lower bound on the amount of biofuels used, with consequences for behavior of agricultural commodity markets that currently supply the vast majority of feedstocks for biofuel production. ...
The economic impacts of the US tariffs for fuel ethanol and biodiesel
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2018)
This article provides a review of production, price, and trade data for fuel ethanol and biodiesel for the 2000-2016 period and projections for the 2016-2021 period. The Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) model is used...
Economic Impacts of Not Extending Biofuel Subsidies
(AgBioForum, 2007)
tariff, or the $1.00-per-gallon biodiesel tax credit on the biofuels and agricultural commodity markets. The Renewable Fuel Standard mandate requiring a minimum of ethanol use is maintained. The study finds that future growth in biofuels relies heavily...
Global Welfare Effects of GM Sugar Beet under Changing EU Sugar Policies
(AgBioForum, 2009)
and policy impact assessment of GM crop cultivation. In this study we assess the impact of a hypothetical introduction of herbicide tolerant sugar beet in the global sugar sector under both the former and the actual European Common Market Organization...
The Long-Run Impact of Corn-Based Ethanol on the Grain, Oilseed, and Livestock Sectors with Implications for Biotech Crops
(AgBioForum, 2007)
the corn price at which the incentive to expand ethanol production disappears. Under current ethanol tax policy, if the prices of crude oil, natural gas and distillers grains stay at current levels, then the break-even corn price is $4.05 per bushel. A...
Biofuel policies and food grain commodity prices 2006-2012 : all boom and no bust?
(AgBioForum, 2013)
Biofuels policies have a large impact on food-grain commodity prices, first and foremost by linking biofuel prices to feedstock prices. The multiplier effect of higher biofuel prices on feedstock prices is shown to be very large (about 4...
The Production and Price Impact of Biotech Corn, Canola, and Soybean Crops
(AgBioForum, 2010)
Biotech crops have now been grown commercially on a substantial global scale since 1996. This article examines the production effects of the technology and impacts on cereal and oilseed markets through the use of agricultural ...
Roll-out of the "Mizzou Advantage"
(University of Missouri, 2009)
Approximately three years ago, MU began an exercise to define "strategic advantages" that could place the University within higher education in an extremely strong, competitive position. The idea was to identify MU's ...
