Abstract

• The Biofuel industry in the US is poised for tremendous growth in future. Past trends have shown that the industry is growing at the rate of about 40-50%, particularly driven by large Biodiesel demand in the preceding 3 years.
• The US concern for high oil import levels will stay here for atleast the next 20 years, which will force the government to promote Biofuels by providing more liberal policies.
• There is a lot of excitement with regard to production as many new production plants are under construction.
• The demand for ethanol has been increasing tremendously and has surpassed supply in the last two years. This is a clear indication of the expanding needs of the country.
• Demand will continue to grow as Biofuels finds new applications in aviation sector, automobile sector, fuel cell sector etc.

• What is the past performance of Biodiesel and ethanol in the US?
• What are the various government support programs that are supporting Biofuel growth?
• What is the economic impact of Biofuel?
• Price Analysis of Biofuel with conventional fuels?
• What is the impact of Biofuel on US oil sector?
• How is the supply and demand situation for Biodiesel and Ethanol?
• What are the potential market segments for Biofuel?
• What opportunities and challenges exist for Biofuel in the market?
