Research and Markets: Biofuels Global Markets & Technologies Outlook 2010-2020

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/593bda/biofuels_global_ma) has announced the addition of the "Biofuels Global Markets & Technologies Outlook 2010-2020" report to their offering.

This report examines the current and future biofuels market and technologies, based on economic, environmental, and political considerations. In particular, we forecast markets and technologies in two comprehensive scenarios:

A current Oil-Peak Where the worlds crude oil supply is unable to sustain demand for liquid fuels
A future Oil-Peak

The report analyses and predicts the evolution of technologies, markets and outlays (expenditures) for three generations of the most common biofuels (ethanol, biodiesel, and butanol) over the next ten years.

Biofuels 2010-2020 provides industry, investors and government decision makers with the insight they need to anticipate the role green fuels will soon play in the global energy market. Readers will be able to evaluate investment opportunities, technologies, market evolution, and the competitive landscape to make informed decisions.

The report covers these biofuels:

Corn and sugar-cane based ethanol
Soy-bean based biodiesel
Cellulosic ethanol (grassoline) made from the tropical switchgrass miscanthus, and other plant-matter waste products (i.e. wood chips)
Biodiesel produced from crops grown in saline, non-arable land
Butanol from engineered microbes
Biodiesel from algae-oil

The report identifies, analyzes and forecasts these topics:

Technology shifts
Geographic migration of production centers
Market behavior under Oil-Peak and status quo conditions
Consumers, producers shifts
Food-vs.-Fuel debate

Our research shows that an Oil-Pinch or shortage scenario will:

Accelerate development of 3rd generation biofuels (butanol and algae-oil)
Yield a $600 Billion world-wide market for biofuels
Triple the biofuel markets size if crude oil production increases substantially
Allow developing nations around the world to become major energy producers for the industrialized West
