Key Report Findings

A promising potential substitute for petroleum-based fuels, liquid biofuels have been gaining momentum over the recent past. Albeit being employed across a few verticals for over a couple of decades now, these fuels are more prominently witnessing a strong application base developing in the transportation sector. Reducing reliance of public transport systems on conventional fuel alternatives has become a priority of governments, which will predominantly drive liquid biofuels market worldwide. Research spots notable opportunities in North American markets as governments there continue to eye GHG emission targets.

Growth Drivers

Critical Need to Reduce Dependency on Conventional Energy Sources

Diminishing natural fossil fuel reserves continue to encourage the hunt for environmentally sustainable and equally effective alternative fuels to cater to ever-increasing demand. Liquid biofuels have been gaining traction as an energy-efficient source on the back of a growing preference for clean energy alternatives at a global level. Given the Net Zero emissions target set by several countries for 2050, the liquid biofuels market is expected to experience robust growth over the period of the next few years.

As energy security is precarious in both society and governments around the world, biofuel - supplying power through renewable resources instead of conventional generation technologies - is emerging as an alternative fuel. Biofuels are easy to use, provide energy security, builds economic development, help in greenhouse gas (GHG) and emission reduction, in sustaining an energy balance and are both recyclable & biodegradable. As the production of biofuels demands the use of plant-based raw materials, they substantially reduce reliance on conventional energy sources. The market for biofuels is projected to experience strong market growth in the future. Liquid biofuels, owing to their convenience of use, will particularly experience greater demand in the global liquid biofuels market.

Encouragement by Governments that Eye Climate Targets, and Policy Compliance

Stringent government norms and regulatory guidelines concerning energy, emissions, and our collective environmental footprint are collectively leading to the establishment of certain policy frameworks that would work in favor of building a sustainable future altogether. Such regulatory standards developed in various countries around the world are particular about greenhouse gas emissions, overall carbon footprint, and the further use of non-renewable energy sources. These elements will continue to pave the way for liquid biofuels market in the future and are expected to also boost R&D investments in the commercialisation of second and third-generation technologies.

Emerging Growth Opportunities

Increasing Awareness About Clean Energy Potential of Liquid Biofuels

Biofuels can work as an effective alternative to substituting energy needs from vehicle fuel to central home heating. Biofuel can be used to power up any mechanism that would run on conventional types of fuel. Biofuel can supply hydrogen, clean up oil, and serve as cooking oil, among other applications. Liquid biofuels (mainly ethanol, and biodiesel) have been considered as alternative sources to resolve the consistently increasing consumption of conventional gasoline and diesel fuels.

The demand in the global liquid biofuels market is expected to rise, thereby reducing the dependency on fossil fuels to meet energy needs. The need for cleaner energy alternatives is boosting the demand for liquid biofuels. Biofuels use plant-based raw materials for production and have zero carbon dioxide emissions (upon combustion). Growing awareness about depleting fossil-based energy sources is also expected to create lucrative opportunities for the liquid biofuels market.

Overview of Key Segments

Transportation Biofuel Segment to Flourish as Advanced Biofuels Soar in Demand

Transportation is a major contributor to several environmental problems, primarily because of higher dependence on fossil fuels. Using biodiesel as a vehicle fuel increases energy security, improves air quality and the environment, as well as offers safety benefits. Biofuels used in the transportation segment are slated to multiply over the forecast period, potentially tripling business revenues for liquid biofuels industry players by 2030. Transportation fuels are made from biomass through biochemical or thermochemical processes, with the most promising of them including ethanol, biodiesel, hydrogen, biogas, and natural gas.

Higher dependence on petroleum to fuel the transportation sector threatens energy security, negatively affects the environment, and overall weakens the global economy. Developing the technology to produce and efficiently utilize biofuels will create transportation fuel options that can positively influence these issues and enable safe, clean, and sustainable alternatives to petroleum or diesel. Strong policy support by respective governments and technological advancements to reduce costs are expected to boost the adoption of advanced biofuel consumption in many transport sectors. The demand for higher biofuel output due to sustainability governance is also slated to boost the demand for transportation biofuels, in turn fostering the liquid biofuels market growth.

Growth Opportunities Across Regions

North America Leads While Several Countries Choose Energy Independence

With abundant feedstock and adequate area available for production of biofuels, North America is most likely to remain the dominant player in the global liquid biofuels market. Governments in Central and South America are also taking initiatives with the aim of achieving energy security and energy independence in the future. Besides, other countries proactively engaged in the biofuel space include the US, Brazil, Venezuela, and certain European countries. Opportunities abound in Canada as the government there is focusing on achieving an annual reduction in GHG by 30MT by 2030. Canada is thus projected to possibly achieve an overall reduction of 30% in GHG emissions.

Liquid Biofuels Market: Competition Analysis

Some of the key players engaged in the global liquid biofuels market include Cargill Incorporated, Praj Industries, Sapphire Energy, Alto Ingredients Inc., Australian Renewable Fuels Limited, Cosan Limited, Coskata Inc., RB Fuels, Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM), Gevo Inc., Renewable Energy Corp., Green Plains, Wilmar International, Valero Energy Corp., Petrobras, Butamax, and Algenol. Key companies are likely to adopt sustainable sourcing strategies to gain the competitive edge.

Recent Notable Developments

In April 2021, Praj Industries won an order from the Government of India (GOI) to set up India's largest capacity syrup-based ethanol plant from Godavari Biorefineries (GBL) in Karnataka. The company will expand its existing ethanol manufacturing capacity to 600 KLPD, using sugarcane syrup. When commissioned, this will become India's largest capacity syrup-based ethanol plant
In July 2020, Bioenergy Australia and the Clean Energy Council announced the signing of an MoU between the two organisations. This strategic collaboration will drive an increased level of understanding, uptake, and engagement in biofuel generation in Australia
