Algae 2020: Biofuel Markets and Commercialization Outlook
Summary, Table of Contents and Order Form (PDF, 4MB)	Global Algae Market Opportunities and Strategies Algae 2020 is a fact-filled guide designed for investors, producers, researchers, consultants and entrepreneurs.  Algae 2020 provides a comprehensive roadmap for the commercialization of advanced biofuels, biomass and biodiesel markets.  The Algae 2020 study offers detailed insight for algae production systems, producers, addressable markets and product development strategies based on site visits and collaborations with established and emerging companies, public-private partnerships, research labs, and universities and technology commercialization to the year 2020.
Markets for Biodiesel, Advanced Biofuels, Drop-In Fuels, Biochems and Biopolymers For the Algae 2020 study, Emerging Markets Online explores multiple applications for algae to supply growing first generation biodiesel and ethanol markets. For 2nd generation and advanced biofuels markets, algae is attracting increased investment to create green bio-crude as a feedstock for petroleum and aviation companies, and advanced drop-in fuels. click to enlarge sources: Emerging Markets Online - Consulting Services, Missing Link Technology For example, the US has invested more than 7 trillion dollars in its existing petroleum refining, storage, pipeline and distribution infrastructure. Algae oil or biocrude is a preferred alternative for petrol and aviation organizations. For these emerging markets for biomass-based fuels, Algae 2020 also measures market size and potential for algae to serve 1st and 2nd gen biodiesel, ethanol, biocrude, aviation, defense and petroleum markets. Emerging Demands for Advanced Biofuels, Biochems, and Biomass Co-Products Algae 2020 examines global algal biofuels and biomass demand drivers and target markets, supported by profiles of early-stage pre-commercial production companies, pilot and demonstration projects, business models and market commercialization prospects.  The Algae 2020 study observes algal biomass can produce multiple fuels from a single feedstock, including biocrude, renewable diesel, renewable gasoline, jet fuel, biodiesel and ethanol. Algae is also being used in test trials for aviation, sea and road transport. For more information, visit the Algae 2020 executive summary and prospectus page
Biodiesel 2020: A Global Market Survey, 2nd Edition
Summary & Order Form PDF	Market Survey, Feedstock Trends and Forecasts Biodiesel 2020, second edition tracks the U.S. and global markets for biodiesel growth, details major feedstock trends, and provides analysis of biodiesel consumption and production trends. Europe, China, India and Brazil are also covered as case studies. Proprietary forecasts developed for this study are also used to produce 2020 "Scenarios" for the U.S., Europe, China, India and Brazil. The widely acclaimed Biodiesel 2020 study has been featured in the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Business 2.0, Biodiesel magazine, Reuters TV, Fox News Energy Week, Biofuels International, Renewable Energy Access, The Futurist, and on Finland's TV network 'N" news Biodiesel 2020, 2nd edition provides an update on the first study; further explores feedstock trends and provides detailed analysis of the current transition from 1st generation biodiesel markets to 2nd generation markets for biodiesel, renewable diesel and biomass to liquids for biodiesel projects.

Biodiesel 2020, second edition examines the trend towards lower cost multiple feedstocks, and provides analysis of emerging projects and markets for jatropha curcas, palm, soy, and rapeseed based biodiesel ventures in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This study also reviews major projects in progress for lower-cost feedstocks from renewable diesel including tallow, used vegetable oil, yellow grease and waste recycling. Algae-based biodiesel projects are also reviewed in detail. This study finds the global market for biodiesel is poised for explosive growth in the next ten years. Although Europe currently represents 80% of global biodiesel consumption and production, the U.S. is now ramping up production at a faster rate than Europe. With the arrival of 2nd generation biofuels and non food feedstocks jatropha and castor, it is possible Biodiesel could represent as much as 20% of all on-road diesel used in Brazil, Europe, China and India by the year 2020. If governments continue to aggressively pursue 2nd generation biofuels research and development; enact investor-friendly tax incentives for production and blending; and help to promote research & development in new biodiesel feedstocks such as algae biodiesel, the prospects for achieving sustainable biodiesel markets may become realized faster than anticipated. Biodiesel 2020 finds that each of these variables will be essential to the eventual success of these targets.
