Report on Liquid Biofuels Outside North America

Dec 26 2015 Mumbai, India: Bharatbook.com announces a report on “ Report on Liquid Biofuels Outside North America ”. Market values are calculated from historical per gallon sales prices and predicted prices according to the futures markets.

INTRODUCTION

STUDY GOAL AND OBJECTIVES

This report is designed to offer an in-depth analysis of the market for liquid biofuels in world regions other than North America. https://www.bharatbook.com/alternative-renewable-market-research-reports-556657/liquid-biofuels-outside-north-america.html While the term “biofuels” describes solid, liquid, or gaseous fuel derived from relatively recently dead biological material as opposed to fossil fuels, which are derived from long dead biological material, for the purposes of this report biofuels will refer to liquid fuels only. At present, two biofuel types are commercially available, bioethanol and biodiesel. As the term “ethanol” has come to refer to bioethanol in common English language usage, this report also will adhere to that convention.

In addition to ethanol and biodiesel, often referred to first-generation biofuels, several more fuel types may be manufactured from raw materials derived from plant resources. These include second-generation ethanol (cellulosic ethanol), biobutanol, algae-based biodiesel, Fischer-Tropsch fuels, green gasoline, and others. 

The primary drivers for the industry are government mandates that have established levels of biofuels that must be added to fossil fuels. In this study, the market for biofuels is analyzed by feedstock type, by production capacity, and by producer. Market values are calculated from historical per gallon sales prices and predicted prices according to the futures markets. Conclusions are illustrated with statistical information on markets, applications, industry structure, and dynamics, along with technological developments.

REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY

While biofuels account for just 1% of world fuel consumption, they...
