The dynamic bioenergy sustainability tax is calculated: it scales linearly with the bioenergy demand starting at 0 at 0EJ to the level defined in cm_bioenergy_SustTax at 200 EJ.

\[\begin{multline*} v21\_tau\_bio(t) = \frac{ cm\_bioenergy\_SustTax }{ \left(200 \cdot sm\_EJ\_2\_TWa\right) } \cdot \left(\sum_{regi}\left(vm\_fuExtr(t,regi,"pebiolc","1") + pm\_fuExtrForeign(t,regi,"pebiolc","1")\right)\right) \end{multline*}\]

Calculation of the value of the overall tax revenue vm_taxrev, that is included in the qm_budget equation. Overall tax revenue is the sum of various components which are calculated in the following equations, each of those with similar structure: The tax revenue is the difference between the product of an activity level (a variable) and a tax rate (a parameter), and this product in the last iteration (which is loaded as a parameter). After converging Negishi/Nash iterations, the value approaches 0, as the activity levels between the current and last iteration don’t change anymore. This means, taxes are budget-neutral: the revenue is always recycled back and still available for the economy. Nevertheless, the marginal of the (variable of) taxed activities is impacted by the tax which leads to the adjustment effect.

Calculation of total bioenergy tax revenues. There are two tax types that are independent of each other: 1. The global sustainability tax rate, which scales linearly with bioenergy production (the higher the demand, the higher the tax ratio v21_tau_bio). Units: v21_tau_bio(t) [1] vm_pebiolc_price(t,regi) [T$US per TWa] -> v21_tau_bio(t) * vm_pebiolc_price(t,regi) [T$US per TWa] 2. The (potentially) region-specific emission-factor-based tax, which is directly linked to the carbon price and does not directly depend on the bioenergy production level. The tax level in monetary terms per unit of bioenergy is derived by multiplying the emission factor with the CO2 price. This tax is applied to biomass consumption (i.e. after trade, applied within the region consuming the bioenergy). By default this emission-factor-based bioenergy tax is deactivated, since in coupled REMIND-MAgPIE policy runs we usually assume that emissions associated with bioenergy production are regulated (i.e. penalized) within the land-use sector with the carbon price on terrestrial carbon emissions. In the absence of direct emissions regulation within the land-use sector, however, this undifferentiated emission-factor-based energy tax can be used as a substitute for missing climate policies in the land-use sector in order to close the regulation gap. Please note that the associated emissions (bioenergy production emission factor) do NOT enter the emissions balance equations, since land-use emissions are accounted for in MAgPIE (i.e. the emission factor is only used to inform the tax level). Units: p21_bio_EF(t,regi) [GtC per TWa] pm_taxCO2eq(t,regi) [T$US per GtC] -> p21_bio_EF(t,regi) pm_taxCO2eq(t,regi) [T$US per TWa] Documentation of overall tax approach is above at q21_taxrev.

\[\begin{multline*} v21\_taxrevBio(t,regi) = v21\_tau\_bio(t) \cdot vm\_pebiolc\_price(t,regi) \cdot vm\_fuExtr(t,regi,"pebiolc","1") + p21\_bio\_EF(t,regi) \cdot pm\_taxCO2eq(t,regi) \cdot \left(vm\_fuExtr(t,regi,"pebiolc","1") - \left(vm\_Xport(t,regi,"pebiolc")-vm\_Mport(t,regi,"pebiolc")\right)\right) - p21\_taxrevBio0(t,regi) \end{multline*}\]

Calculation of High implicit discount rates in energy efficiency capital which is also modeled as a tax to mirror the lack of incentive for cost-efficient renovations. calculation is done via additional discount rate times input of capital at different levels

\[\begin{multline*} v21\_implicitDiscRate(t,regi) = \sum_{ppfKap(in)}\left( p21\_implicitDiscRateMarg(t,regi,in) \cdot vm\_cesIO(t,regi,in) \right) - p21\_implicitDiscRate0(t,regi) \end{multline*}\]

Calculation of specific emission market taxes calculation is done via additional budget emission constraints defined in regipol module

\[\begin{multline*} v21\_taxemiMkt(t,regi,emiMkt) = pm\_taxemiMkt(t,regi,emiMkt) \cdot vm\_co2eqMkt(t,regi,emiMkt) - p21\_taxemiMkt0(t,regi,emiMkt) \end{multline*}\]

FS: Calculation of tax/subsidy on technologies with inflexible/flexible electricity input This is to emulate the effect of lower/higher electricity prices in high VRE systems on flexible/inflexible electricity demands.

\[\begin{multline*} v21\_taxrevFlex(t,regi) = \sum_{en2en(enty,enty2,te)\$teFlexTax(te)}\left( -vm\_flexAdj(t,regi,te) \cdot vm\_demSe(t,regi,enty,enty2,te) \right) - p21\_taxrevFlex0(t,regi) \end{multline*}\]

FS: (PE) import tax can be used to place taxes on PE energy imports e.g. bioenergy import taxes due to sustainability concerns by importers

\[\begin{multline*} v21\_taxrevImport(t,regi,tradePe) = p21\_tau\_Import(t,regi,tradePe) \cdot \frac{ pm\_pvp(t,tradePe) }{ pm\_pvp(t,"good") } \cdot vm\_Mport(t,regi,tradePe) - p21\_taxrevImport0(t,regi,tradePe) \end{multline*}\]

Calculation of costs limiting the change compared to the reference run in cm_startyear.

\[\begin{multline*} v21\_taxrevChProdStartYear(t,regi) = \sum_{en2en(enty,enty2,te)}\left( vm\_changeProdStartyearCost(t,regi,te)\$\left( \left(t.val gt 2005\right) \& \left(t.val eq cm\_startyear \right) \right) \right) - p21\_taxrevChProdStartYear0(t,regi) \end{multline*}\]
