Abstract

Demand for Cheap, Sustainable and Clean Energy Spurs Market Growth

Soaring oil prices, global warming, EU legislation in support of the KYOTO agreement and the desire for countries to be more energy self-sufficient is driving growth in the European biofuels market. Reform of the common agricultural policy and the subsequent loss of farming subsidies also means that energy crop production is an attractive proposition for farmers in Europe.

This Frost & Sullivan research examines the European biofuels market, segmenting it into biodiesel and bioethanol. The study discusses the prevailing market challenges and gives strategic recommendations to overcome them.

European Legislation Drives the Dynamic Market

"The life cycle analysis (LCA) approach to the overall atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) contribution of a fuel suggests that biodiesel uses about 50 percent less CO2 than mineral diesel," according to the analyst of this study. "This has motivated individual governments and the European Commission to support the development of the biodiesel market, as an important contribution to meeting their overall emission targets."

The need for cleaner transport fuels, with reduced environmental pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions, has been recognized by world leaders and the European Commission. Biofuels can be handled and distributed from the refinery, using existing network systems and standard fuel pump equipment. The lack of technology barriers or specialist equipment for handling biodiesel, gives it a distinct advantage over other alternative fuels.

Emerging Markets and Finite Oil Supplies Hold Untapped Revenue Potential

The biofuels market has grown at a remarkable rate and many new potential growth markets are still emerging. The bioethanol market in particular is in the embryonic stage and has huge growth and revenue potential. Bioethanol and ethyl tertiary butyl ether are both fully miscible with gasoline in any quantity, and can be incorporated into transport fuel easily as a blend. Increased power output and miscibility of bioethanol are factors that aid its market growth.

"The multiple benefits of biofuels such as reduced price and clean energy are spurring the growth of this market," explains the analyst. "Though lack of consumer knowledge has the potential to put a damper on the growth, its advantages such as providing increasing energy self sufficiency and being a positive alternative oil resource will encourage this market."
