“…The socio-economic modeling tools enhanced to be deployed in this study (Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis -EPPA model 22 , and the General Equilibrium Analysis Project -PAEG model 23,24 , see Methods) allow us to assess impacts both consumer prices and incomes, since they represent 10 different families group in Brazilian regions, considering changes in all markets and prices of goods and services.…”

“…The Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis -EPPA model 22 , and the General Equilibrium Analysis Project -PAEG model 23,24 were enhanced and deployed. Both are computable general equilibrium (CGE) models, and the EPPA model is a component of the Integrated Global System Modeling (IGSM) framework 54 .…”

“…In addition to representing the Brazilian economy disaggregated into 5 economic macro-regions, for each of these regions, the PAEG model also considers ten different classes of households by average household income. This enables assessing impacts on different family classes, inequality, and income distribution 24 Regarding changes in land use, the PAEG model considers that the total land supply resources are allocated to different uses based on a constant elasticity of transformation (CET) function, as in the original GTAP model 65 . This means that, in each of the model's regions, a representative agent who owns land resources chooses how much of their total resources will offer to each agricultural sector, according to financial return or relative rental amount paid by farmers for different uses.…”

We evaluate the fast-expanding food-energy system of double-cropped corn ethanol in the Brazilian Center-West region using a novel combination of environmental and socio-economic models. Based on this comprehensive approach, we find that this system provides renewable and affordable energy (5 billion liters of ethanol, 600 MWh of electrical power) and feed (4 thousand tonnes of distillers dried grains), reduces greenhouse gas emissions (9.3 million to 13.2 million tons of CO2e), saves land (160 thousand hectares), boosts regional income growth and consumption (0.05% to 0.6% increase in household income), improves food security, and benefits ecosystems and human health. These impacts are amplified when carbon capture and storage is coupled into the process. Key features responsible for this outcome include the integration of feedstock supply into existing practices and the use of sustainable biomass to provide process energy. Future analysis should consider region-specific factors when incorporating these features into other bioenergy systems.
