Bioenergy prospects in Taiwan using set-aside land – an economic evaluation

---

This study aims to explore Taiwan’s potential for bioenergy production using feedstocks
grown on set-aside land and discusses the consequent effects on Taiwan’s energy security plus
benefits and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission.
Design/methodology/approach – The Modified Taiwan Agricultural Sector Model (Modified
TASM), based on price endogenous mathematical programming, was used to simulate different
agricultural policies related to bioenergy production. To do this simulation, the TASM model was
extended to include additional bioenergy production possibilities and GHG accounting.
Findings – Taiwan’s bioenergy production portfolio depends on prices of ethanol, electricity and
GHG. When GHG prices go up, ethanol production decreases and electricity production increases
because of the relatively stronger GHG offset power of biopower.
Originality/value – Taiwan is interested in producing bioenergy but only limited information is
available. This study provides the information on potential bioethanol and bioelectricity production
from various energy crops, GHG emission offset from bioenergy, and regional energy security.
