All capital cost correlations and parameters used in the discounted cash flow analysis follow the assumptions made in our previous study. Because all biofuel configuration pathways were found to achieve over 60% reduction in carbon intensity relative to a 2016 petroleum benchmark established by the EPA (see the Results and Discussion section), the return on investment included the value of renewable identification numbers (RINs) of biomass-based diesel (i.e., D4 RIN), and cellulosic biofuel (i.e., D3 RIN) pathways following the guidance of 75 FR 14863. As specified by 40 CFR 80.1451(b)(1)(ii)(U), the fraction of fuel (biodiesel) produced from the planted crop feedstock (sugarcane juice) received D4 RINs while the remaining fraction originating from the crop residue feedstock (bagasse) received D3 RINs. RIN credits were treated as a co-product and decreased the minimum biodiesel selling price (MBSP).
