Global Biofuels Market Overview      

Biofuels are made from renewable sources which are produced by animals and plants. Biofuels are replace by gasoline, diesel fuel, and coal. Biofuel is also used as a first –generation fuel. Bioethanol and biodiesel are the two major products produced from the biofuels.

Increasing low prices of biofuels than other vegetables oils is major factors for the growth of the market. Government initiatives regarding blending of biofuels in automotive fuels and expanding government support for environment friendly power alternatives is likely to create an awareness among the consumer regarding the consumption of the biofuels.

Key players in the market are continuously working on production techniques and rising research and development activities in the market will further create new opportunities for the biofuels market in the forecast period of 2024- 2032.   

Biofuels are the fuels produced from metabolic by-products such as organic and food waste products or from living organisms. Biofuels are solid, liquid or gaseous fuel derived from biomass, living organisms or their metabolic by-products like manure from cows. Biofuels originally come from the sun captured through photosynthesis by the plants which are used as feedstock for biofuel production and is stored in the plant’s cells. For manufacturing of biofuels various plants and plant derived materials are used like, natural oils from plants, wood and it’s by products sugar crops, and waste from industry, agriculture, forestry, and households.

Biofuels are significantly gaining attention globally as substitutes for petroleum-derived transportation fuels so as to help energy security, energy cost and global warming concerns linked with fossil fuels. Biofuels can contain relatively familiar ones, such as diesel-like fuel made from soybean oil or ethanol made from sugar cane to less familiar fuels like dimethyl ether (DME) or Fischer-Tropsch liquids (FTL) made from lignocellulosic biomass.
