Background:

The global biofuel market has experienced significant growth over the last five years and is expected to continue its growth momentum, reaching approximately US $139.6 billion by 2016 with a CAGR of 16% over the next five years.

Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has analyzed the global biofuel market and presents its findings in “Growth Opportunities in the Global Biofuel Market 2011-2016: Trends, Forecast, and Market Share Analysis.”

Lucintel’s research indicates robust growth in biofuels production despite recent controversies surrounding biofuels over the last two years such as sustainability, food versus fuel, and others. Biofuels in the transportation sector are expected to grow at a double-digit rate during the next five years as the technology advances. Because biofuels are derived from living plant matter, substituting them for petroleum could reduce the net amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Governmental support for biofuels in both developed and developing countries as a secure source of energy and to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels would further boost the biofuel industry.

North America is expected to remain the largest ethanol producer throughout the projection outlook mainly due to the implementation of new Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2). Ethanol use as a fuel in US, Canada and the rest of North America is anticipated to increase continuously. Biodiesel on the other hand is dominated by the European Union (EU) whose total biodiesel production is expected to increase as it is driven by mandates and tax reductions by member states and Renewable Energy Directive (RED).
