Overview

Spatial biomass production and SAF estimates by feedstock across different carbon payment scenarios.

An economic model was developed that incorporates spatially varying joint yield and price distributions for the multiple crop choices a farmer faces when choosing between conventional and bioenergy crops. The model is developed in Matlab, and has options for no, annual and upfront payment results.
