Product Description
Concerns about energy security, uncertainty about oil prices, decliningoil reserves, and global climate change are fueling a shift towardsbioenergy as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels. Public policiesand private investments around the globe are aiming to increase localcapacity to produce biofuels. A key constraint to the expansion ofbiofuel production is the limited amount of land available to meettheneeds for fuel, feed, and food in the coming decades. Large-scalebiofuel production raises concerns about food versus fuel tradeoffs,about demands for natural resources such as water, and aboutpotential impacts on environmental quality.
Thebook is organized into five parts. The introductory part provides acontext for the emerging economic and policy challenges related tobioenergy and the motivations for biofuels as an energy source. Thesecond part of the handbook includes chapters that examine theimplications of expanded production of first generation biofuels forthe allocation of land between food and fuel and for food/feed pricesand trade in biofuels as well as the potential for technologyimprovements to mitigate the food vs. fuel competition for land.Chapters in the third part examine the infrastructural and logisticalchallenges posed by large scale biofuel production and the factors thatwill influence the location of biorefineries and the mix of feed stocksthey use. The fourth part includes chapters that examine theenvironmental implications of biofuels, their implications for thedesign of policies and the unintended environmental consequences ofexisting biofuel policies. The final part presents economic analysis ofthe market, social welfare,and distributional effects of biofuelpolicies.
Written for:
Researchers and graduate students in agricultural economics, natural resources and environmental management and economic policy
Policymakers concerned with food, energy, and environmental issues
Industry executives in agriculture, energy, and environmental management
