DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/49qw2s/global_biofuels) has announced the addition of the "Global Biofuels Industry" report to their offering.
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.
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.
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.
