* The trade and allocation of biofuel production to regions is determined by optimisation. An optimal mix of bio-solid and bio-liquid fuel supply across regions is calculated, using the prices of the previous time step to calculate the demand.

The production costs for bioenergy are represented by the costs of feedstock and conversion. Feedstock costs increase with actual production as a result of depletion, while conversion costs decrease with cumulative production as a result of ‘learning by doing’. Feedstock costs include the costs of land, labour and capital, while conversion costs include capital, {{abbrTemplate|O&M}} and energy use in this process. For both steps, the associated greenhouse gas emissions (related to deforestation, N2O from fertilisers, energy) are estimated (see Component [[Emissions]]), and are subject to carbon tax, where relevant.
