2 Overview Background and Context Ethanol Policies and Policy Rumblings Range of Policy Instruments Rationales for Government Action Emerging Criticisms Assessment of the prospects for trade and trade disputes
3 Thesis Fuel Ethanol has not been, is not, and, in our assessment, is unlikely to be treated as a freely traded international commodity with production locations determined by comparative advantage or production levels determined by relative cost. Policy measures to support ethanol are based on various forms of government intervention in the marketplace regulations, subsidies, and trade restrictions, among others There are plenty of grounds for trade disputes regarding ethanol, but no one would seem to have a clear motivation to initiate a complaint
4 Policy Measures Used to Promote Ethanol Production fuel excise tax exemptions production and blending requirements government procurement preferences local tax breaks on property taxes or and state/provincial taxes accelerated write off schedules biofuels related capital tax exempt bonds subsidized loans or loan guarantees capital gains exemptions regulatory exemptions producer credits state/provincial/federal subsidies environmental legislation mandating certain specific types of fuel additives (typically for fuel oxygen ation) government purchases of surplus agricultural stocks for conversion to bio ethanol agricultural farm supports government supported R&D.
5 Ethanol Production Global production ~ 45 billion litres per year Brazil ~ 16 billion litres United States ~ 16 billion litres Canada~ 230 million litres Mexico ~ 50 million litres Gasoline Consumption United States ~ 550 billion litres per year Canada ~ 45 billion litres per year
6 Global Policy Context The EU: Largest producer; strong ambitions Huge capacity; largest plants in the world Rapeseed-based, but increasingly multi-feedstock Canada: 5% renewable energy target by 2010 Canola, waste oils USA: Mandatory biofuel use of 7.5 billion gallons by 2012; primarily ethanol Biodiesel potential huge due to only 1% diesel car penetration Soybean oil - canola upcoming Brazil: B2 (2008) and B5 (2013) targets introduced Aim: rural support (palm, castor oils) Reality: primarily soybean oil; large-scale projects Source: Susan Hansen, Rabobank Argentina: Legislation passed in 2006 Focus on soybean oil China: Mandatory blend targets expected in 2007 Massive potential, but not realised South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Philippines: Various targets and initiatives Small industries or imports India: Infant industry; policies under preparation Jatropha-based Malaysia & Indonesia: Aim to set-aside 40% of palm oil production for biodiesel (aimed for exports specifically to EU) MAL: 5% blend (voluntary) of palm and diesel IND: B2 mandatory target by 2008 Australia: Non-mandatory target by 2010 Canola, waste oils, animal fats
7 Rationales for Ethanol Policy 1. Balance of Payments and Import Substitution (Brazil and Mexico) 2. Anti terrorism (United States) 3. Reduce oil imports/consumption (Brazil and United States) 1. Reduce air pollution (United States and Canada) 2. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions (United States and Canada) 4. Increase farm and rural incomes (United States, Mexico and Canada) 5. Infant Industry Argument (Canada)
8
9 Emerging (?) Criticisms Net Energy Balance Reduction in Oil Use GHG reduction Anti terrorism Food vs Fuel Distributional Effects and Efficiency of Income Transfers Air Pollution Claims
10 y Reduce dependence on foreign oil borders on national security arguments (U.S.) y Improve trade balance reducing imports of secondary petroleum products (Mexico)
11 Net energy calculations suggest small gains at best High cost way of reducing GHG emissions Other emission results are mixed

20 Benefit to grain farmers is a cost to livestock producers Capitalization of gains into land prices Food vs fuel tradeoffs globally Subsidy cost per job created is high Competition among jurisdictions for facilities dissipates net benefits Movement toward consolidation of ownership of ethanol plants
