BIOFUELS Fuels For The Future?
A comprehensive assessment of the sector and its potential to displace oil in transport Biofuels have the strongest growth potential in the global transport fuel sector, with growth estimated to move from the current 3% of the global fuel mix to 12% by 2030.
Yet as biofuels move from niche to mainstream market, the industry grapples with serious questions of how they will affect the markets, the industry, and both major and specialist players.
Energy Intelligence Research's new report, Biofuels: Fuels of the Future?, explores the phenomenon and presents analysis of the main risks and opportunities in the fast-growing sector.
Energy Intelligence Research reports paint detailed pictures of the most significant topics and trends in the oil and gas industry. They look towards the past by providing detailed historical data, the present by presenting the most up-to-date and in-depth information,
and the future by applying our expert analysis to forecast upcoming
challenges and opportunities.
The report provides an in-depth analysis of the most important regions for biofuels – Brazil, the US and Europe -the prospects for future development, and the implications for oil consumption.
Key insights include:
- Brazil - Deregulation and rising oil costs have initiated a biofuels comeback. Although the US has overtaken Brazil as the world's biggest ethanol producer, Energy Intelligence predicts that Brazil will regain this title, while also developing lucrative export markets to satisfy growing world demand.
- US - The US government is spurring the development of ethanol to reduce its dependence on high-price oil imports. However, constraints in terms of feedstock availability might make US production dependent on future Brazilian imports.
- EU - Unlike the US and Brazil, the dominant transport fuel in Europe is diesel, so the focus is on biodiesel rather than ethanol. EU biodiesel markets are at very different stages of development due to the patchwork of different national policy frameworks. This report focuses on the main drivers of EU biofuel: Germany, France and the UK.
