Biofuels Market Outlook: Market Drivers, Growth Opportunities And Regulatory Change
"In terms of the long-term outlook for biomass and biofuels, the largest proportion of our industry survey respondents (47%) thought that biofuels would account for 5-10% of total global fuel production by 2017. "
Over 80 per cent of the world’s primary energy supply is currently derived from fossil fuels. Concerns around energy security, climate change and rising oil prices are driving the search for cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternatives. However, it is only recently that technological advances and reduced production costs have meant biofuels can fulfil this need.

Algae-based technologies could provide a key tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants and other carbon intensive industrial processes.
Driven by escalating global climate change concerns and the rising cost of petroleumbased energy, companies are now starting to examine using certain forms of algae to reduce carbon emissions from power plants, generate renewable transportation fuels, and produce feed for fish and livestock.
Using an intricate photosynthetic process, trendsetters have developed biodiesel and
ethanol from an unlikely source - algae - that, given optimal conditions, can double its
volume overnight. (MORE)
An alternative fuel is any material or substance that is not derived from petroleum that can be used as a fuel. Interest in alternative fuels has focused on transportation fuels, since 70% of petroleum is consumed by the transportation sector. (MORE)
