摘要

摘要:随着全球变暖意识的增强,对生物燃料等低温室气体排放的交通燃料的需求迅速增长。在美国,像许多其他国家一样,政府正在为生物燃料取代化石燃料提供金钱奖励。从生物燃料扩散的角度来看,生物燃料生产商以最有效的方式利用这些激励措施是很重要的,因为更好地利用激励措施将降低生产商的成本,从而降低生物燃料的零售价格。然而,目前生物燃料生产商并没有充分利用这些激励措施。这份行业报告介绍了一种新方法,允许美国生物燃料生产商改进他们使用一项名为LCFS(加州低碳燃料标准)的激励计划的做法。我们的方法相对简单,是基于最近与一家生物燃料制造公司进行的一项研究项目,该项目旨在最大限度地从LCFS激励计划中获得利益。我们通过实际设置的数值实验表明,在所有条件下,就从激励计划中提取的收益最大化而言,该方法与当前实践相匹配或优于当前实践。

Increasing Biofuel Proliferation via the Optimal Use of Government Incentives
Abstract:With the increasing public awareness on global warming, the demand for low greenhouse gas emission (GHG) transportation fuel, such as biofuel, is growing rapidly. In the United States, like many other countries, the government is providing monetary incentives for biofuel displacement of fossil fuel. From the standpoint of biofuel proliferation, it is important that biofuel producers utilize these incentives in the most effective way, because better utilizations of incentives will lead to reduced costs for producers, which in turn will lower biofuel retail prices. Currently, however, biofuel producers are not taking full advantage of these incentives. This industry note introduces a new approach that allows US biofuel producers to improve their practice of using an incentive program called the LCFS (California Low Carbon Fuel Standard). Our method, which is relatively simple, is based on a recent research project conducted with a biofuel manufacturing firm, which aimed to maximize the benefit gained from the LCFS incentive program. We show, by performing numerical experiments with realistic settings, that the method matches or outperforms the current practice in terms of maximizing gains extracted from the incentive program, under all conditions.
