Why Biodiesel?
• U.S. petroleum reserves are declining• U.S. petroleum imports are increasing
• Biodiesel substitutes for diesel fuel– Biodiesel could slow down petroleum
consumption

Why Biodiesel?
• Combustion of fossil fuels is a large source of carbon dioxide emissions
• Global Warming– Greenhouse Effect – Belief that greenhouse gases like carbon
dioxide are accumulating in atmosphere, causing the earth to become warmer
![Page 6: Market Penetration of Biodiesel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815cca550346895dcad6a4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Biodiesel Recycles Carbon Dioxide
![Page 7: Market Penetration of Biodiesel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815cca550346895dcad6a4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why Biodiesel?
• Biodiesel recycles carbon dioxide from atmosphere
• Biodiesel has cleaner emissions than diesel fuel– Lowers tail-pipe emissions
• Hydrocarbon (HC)• Carbon monoxide (CO)• Particulate matter (PM)
![Page 8: Market Penetration of Biodiesel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815cca550346895dcad6a4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Biodiesel Problems
• Biodiesel increases NOX emissions– Nitrous oxide
• Biodiesel contains 93.4% energy by volume
• Biodiesel made from – Saturated oil freezes around 100 C– Unsaturated oil freezes around -40 C– Presents a problem for winter use
![Page 9: Market Penetration of Biodiesel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815cca550346895dcad6a4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

FASOM-GHG
• Forest and Agricultural Sector Optimization Model-Greenhouse Gas (FASOM-GHG) – Large quadratic programming model– Written in General Algebraic Modeling System
(GAMS)– Account for market interactions – Predict biodiesel market penetration
![Page 23: Market Penetration of Biodiesel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815cca550346895dcad6a4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
FASOM-GHG
• United States decomposed into – 63 agricultural production regions– 11 regions for primary and secondary
products– Contains import and export markets for many
products
![Page 24: Market Penetration of Biodiesel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815cca550346895dcad6a4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
FASOM-GHG
• 56 primary products markets– Agricultural and animal industries
• 39 secondary products markets– Producers process primary products into
finished products
![Page 25: Market Penetration of Biodiesel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815cca550346895dcad6a4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
FASOM-GHG
• Biodiesel has two cost types1. Endogenous Costs - determined in
FASOM-GHG• Feedstock costs – producers purchase feedstocks
to convert to biodiesel• Hauling costs – harvesting and hauling feedstocks
to processing facilities– Update for crop yield improvements– Different regions have different crop yields
![Page 26: Market Penetration of Biodiesel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815cca550346895dcad6a4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
FASOM-GHG2. Exogenous Costs - fixed and do not change
• Production costs – cost to chemically convert oil into biodiesel
– Yellow grease is $1.159 per gallon– Other sources are $0.76 per gallon
• Capital costs – cost of buildings, equipment, chemical tanks, et cetera.
– 10 year life for capital; 8% interest rate– All sources are $0.0628 per gallon
• Transportation costs – cost of transporting biodiesel to retail markets (includes storage)
– All sources are $0.05 per gallon
![Page 27: Market Penetration of Biodiesel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815cca550346895dcad6a4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
FASOM-GHG
• Chemical yields– One gallon of oil (or tallow) yields 1 gallon of
biodiesel– Conversion efficiency is 98% of theoretical
• Derived from chemical reaction
• No technological improvement for biodiesel– Chemical conversion is quite efficient
![Page 28: Market Penetration of Biodiesel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815cca550346895dcad6a4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
FASOM-GHG
• Biodiesel produces glycerol as a byproduct– Chemical companies use glycerol to make
soap, dynamite, foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products
– Glycerol is not included in FASOM-GHG– A large biodiesel industry would saturate the
glycerol market• Glycerol price would drop significantly
![Page 29: Market Penetration of Biodiesel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815cca550346895dcad6a4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Predicted Market Penetration
• Diesel fuel price is proportional to gasoline fuel price Pdiesel = 0.8643 Pgasoline
• Gasoline price ranges $1 to $3 per gallon• No international markets for biodiesel
![Page 30: Market Penetration of Biodiesel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815cca550346895dcad6a4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Predicted Market Penetration
• U.S. federal subsidies– Yellow grease is $0.50 per gallon – Other sources are $1.00 per gallon
• Time period – Ranges from 2000 to 2020
– 2020 is not shown, because it contains terminal conditions

Predicted Market Penetration
• Time paths have a “dip”• Source is from soybean and cattle markets. • Between 2005 and 2015
– Producers crush and export fewer soybeans– Soybean and cattle production are increasing over
time. – An expanding cattle industry requires more feeds, e.g.
soybeans– Soybeans are diverted from biodiesel industry

Note
• FASOM-GHG– Contains ethanol production
• Substitutes for gasoline• Contains 3 technologies

– Contains biomass production• Burns crop and wood residues for electricity• Co-fire with coal in different percentages
![Page 38: Market Penetration of Biodiesel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815cca550346895dcad6a4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Conclusion
• In 2004• U.S. produced 58.6 billion gallons of diesel
fuel– U.S. refineries operate at 93% of capacity
• Biodiesel obtains a 3.1% market share in 2015 with gasoline price of $3 per gallon
![Page 39: Market Penetration of Biodiesel](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815cca550346895dcad6a4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Conclusion
• Biodiesel is not likely to reduce reliance on petroleum
