We are looking for consultants to complete a study assessing the economic impacts and emission reduction potential of policy options that could encourage the use of conventional and advanced biofuels in the transport sector.
This study will build on the ‘biofuel white’ paper commissioned by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority and work commissioned by MBIE looking at expected prices. It is expected that the successful Supplier will examine the following matters through a mix of literature review and economic modelling:
• carbon prices that would likely be required to meet various targets for biofuels if no other significant government interventions were introduced to promote the use of such fuels in the transport sector
• modelling of impacts on the economy (in terms of RGDP, RGNDI, employment, export and import, fiscal cost and household and business expenditure on energy) and emissions of up to six biofuels policy scenarios in the period. For example:
o a scenario where the repealed 2008 biofuels sales obligations are reinstated, with the proportion of land transport fuels that are biofuels starting at 0.5 per cent in 2023 and rising to 2.5 percent by 2027 and 7 per cent by 2035
o a scenario where biofuels are required to be blended up to the maximum limit prescribed in the Engine Fuel Specification Regulations 2011, starting from 2023
o a biofuels mandate targeting heavy freight and aviation.
