In its second volume, this book aims to link the academic research
with development in the real world and provide a historical and
institutional background that can enrich more formal research. The
first section will include an assessment of the evolution and the
state of the nascent second-generation biofuel as well as a
perspective on the evolution of corn ethanol and sugarcane ethanol
in Brazil. It will also include a historical and institutional
background on the biofuel industry in Brazil that has global
lessons, and later, provide a technical overview of major
analytical tools used to assess the economic, land use and
greenhouse gas implications of biofuel policies at a regional and
global level. Additionally, the book analyzes the various drivers
for land use change both at a micro-economic level and at a
macro-economic level. It presents studies that apply regional and
global economic models to examine the effects of biofuel policies
in the US, EU and Brazil on regional and global land use, on food
and fuel prices and greenhouse gas emissions. These papers
illustrate the use of partial and general equilibrium modeling
approaches to simulate the effects of various biofuel policies, and
includes studies showing the effects of risk aversion, time
preferences and liquidity constraints on farmers decision to grow
energy crops for biofuel production. By presenting the tools of
lifecycle analysis for assessing the direct greenhouse gas
intensity of biofuels, this handbook investigates the types of
indirect or market mediated effects that can offset or strengthen
these direct effects. It will include tools to assess the direct
and indirect effects of biofuel production on greenhouse gas
emissions in the US and Brazil, and ultimately provide a
comprehensive background to understand the state of biofuel in the
present and how to analyze their implication.
