Biorefineries can reduce carbon dioxide emissions while serving the global chemical demand market. Governments are also using carbon pricing policies, such as carbon taxes, cap-and-trade models, and carbon caps, as a strategy to reduce emissions. The use of biomass feedstocks in conjunction with carbon capture usage and storage technologies are mitigation strategies for global warming. Businesses can invest in these technologies to accommodate the adoption of these policies. Rapid action is necessary to halt global warming, which results in aggressive policies. In this work, a multi-period process design and planning problem is developed for the design and capacity expansion of biorefineries. The three carbon pricing policies are integrated into the model and parameters are selected according to the aggressive scenario denoted by the Paris Agreement. The results show that the cap-and-trade policy achieves a higher net present value evaluation over the carbon tax model across all pareto points due to the flexibility of the allowances in the cap-and-trade policy. The carbon cap model substantial investments are required in carbon capture technologies to adhere to the emissions constraints.
