Part 1. Imagine you have a diesel-powered car, and you can buy either diesel or biodiesel fuel (which is possible in some parts of the US). The cost of biodiesel is $38/GJ, and the biodiesel causes 22 kg CO2 emissions per GJ over its lifetime. The diesel costs $30/GJ and causes 88 kg CO2 emissions per GJ over its lifetime (4 times more!!). Part 1: What is the cost of mitigation of choosing biodiesel? Part 2. What carbon tax would be required to make the biodiesel cost the same as the diesel?
