Research and Markets: This Essential and Comprehensive Report on the Global Biofuels Industry is Now Available
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/0aa51c/global_biofuels_in)
has announced the addition of the “Global
Biofuels Industry” report to their offering.
Although biofuels are mainly used to replace or supplement the
traditional petroleum-based transportation fuels, they can also be
deployed to generate heat and electricity. Being an alternative to
fossils, biofuels can be applied to existing vehicles with little or no
engine modification. Although they release CO2 when burned in internal
combustion engines, they differ from fossil fuels partly because their
use reduces the net emission of carbon dioxide and other gases
associated with global climate change and partly because they are
biodegradable.
There is a lot happening in the field of biofuels, and to capture these,
Aruvian Research brings you the complete guide to the Global
Biofuels Industry. The economics of biofuels, issues facing the
industry, regulatory barriers as well as incentives, technologies
involved, major types of biofuels, and many other topics are discussed
in depth in this report. Grab a copy of this report and get up-to-date
on A to Z of biofuels.
Executive Summary:
Although biofuels are mainly used to replace or supplement the
traditional petroleum-based transportation fuels, they can also be
deployed to generate heat and electricity. Being an alternative to
fossils, biofuels can be applied to existing vehicles with little or no
engine modification. Although they release CO2 when burned in internal
combustion engines, they differ from fossil fuels partly because their
use reduces the net emission of carbon dioxide and other gases
associated with global climate change and partly because they are
biodegradable.
Biofuels have had a long history of use in the transport sector. This
began in the 1970s and early 1980s when a substantial increase in
biofuels production and use in many countries resulted from high oil
prices. But biofuels became less competitive vis-à-vis fossil fuels
after the collapse of oil prices in the mid-1980s, and global interest
in biofuels for transport waned considerably in the 1990s and the first
years of the 21st century.
The recent sustained increase in international oil prices has once again
highlighted the potential for biofuels to contribute to transport fuel
demand, particularly in countries that import the bulk of fossil fuel
supplies. Global concerns about the effects of fossil fuel use on the
environment, as well as recognition of the benefits of energy supply
diversification also support increasing biofuels production and use. .
There is a lot happening in the field of biofuels, and to capture these,
Aruvian Research brings you the complete guide to the Global
Biofuels Industry. The economics of biofuels, issues facing the
industry, regulatory barriers as well as incentives, technologies
involved, major types of biofuels, and many other topics are discussed
in depth in this report.
The report explores the near-term and longer-term global prospects for
biofuels for transport, focusing mainly on the development of new
markets. The Brazilian model for development of a national biofuels
market is highlighted in a case study, as well as the perspective from
other countries. The report also explores the elements of a national
strategy on biofuels, and addresses not just the biofuels for transport
angle – as critically important as that is – but also the
socio-economic/sustainable development component which involves, among
other matters, rural community development, environmental impacts,
income generation, and the hard/foreign currency potential. Finally, the
report seeks to clarify the opportunities for international cooperation
to expand biofuels production and use on a cost-effective,
environmentally sustainable basis. Grab a copy of this report and get
