Pacini H, Strapasson A, 2012, Innovation subject to sustainability: the European policy on biofuels and its effects on innovation in the Brazilian bioethanol industry, Journal of Contemporary European Research, Vol: 8, Pages: 367-397, ISSN: 1815-347X
Biofuels are a suitable complement for fossil energy in the transport sector and bioethanol is the main biofuel traded worldwide. Based on the assumption that innovation can be influenced by regulation, the Brazilian bioethanol industry is facing new requirements from external actors while reaching for international markets. Until 2010, national environmental laws were the main sustainability instrument that the biofuel industry faced. With the introduction of sustainability criteria for biofuels in the European Fuels Quality Directive (FQD) and Renewable Energy Directive (RED) of 2009, bioethanol producers have been pressured to innovate in respect of the requirements of future markets. Here, the aim is to analyse the case of Brazil, given the potential exports of sugarcane-based ethanol from this country to the EU. Brazil provides an interesting overview of how a bioethanol industry innovated while facing sustainability requirements in the past. A comparison between the European requirements and the industry´s status quo is then explored. The EU criteria are likely to have effects on the Brazilian bioethanol industry and incremental improvements in sustainability levels might take place based on the sustainability requirements. In addition, the industry could follow two other paths, namely risk diversification by engaging in multi-output models; and market leakage towards less-regulated markets. At the same time, an environmental overregulation of the biofuel market may make it more difficult for emerging biofuel industries in other countries, especially in Africa, by creating a barrier rather than contributing to its expansion. The results of this analysis show the main challenges to be addressed and the potential positive and negative impacts of the European Union biofuels policy on the Brazilian bioethanol industry.
Kalas N, Akhurst M, Woods J, et al., 2011, cLCA of European biodiesel: estimation of key drivers for iLUC and identification of mitigation option, IEA Workshop "Quantifying and Managing Land Use Effects of Bioenergy"
The model adapted and employed by Imperial College London, LCAworks provides a transparent assessment tool for the identification of key drivers of iLUC related GHG emissions of European biodiesel (RME) production. It represents a practical application the Consequential Life Cycle Assessment (cLCA) framework developed by E4tech and allows users 1) to estimate iLUC impacts of a European biodiesel supply chain, 2) to assess the sensitivity of the results to key inputs, and 3) to identify possible iLUC mitigation option by targeting these key drivers. EU RME production is used as a case study to highlight and discuss the impact of key assumptions on the resulting range of iLUC factors and overall GHG balance of this supply chain. The model outcomes are sensitive to substitution assumptions of soy for rape meal in animal feed and associated soy land use change estimates. The findings are further discussed in terms of the sustainability requirements of the RED and proposed iLUC policy.
