This report also tracks the growth or fall in different categories of the biofuel industry and their future markets together with an overview on the opportunities and challenges associated with the development of biofuel market.
Asia-Pacific Biofuel Industry
Decreasing oil production from almost all the oil reserves is attracting the world’s eyes towards renewable energy sources. Rising energy consumption and environmental issues has now shifted the focus towards biofuel use, particularly in transportation. Though the biofuel industry is in its initial stages in Asia-Pacific, there is a huge potential for its development in the region. Most of the governments are supportive towards the biofuel use and are planning to implement regulation in support of biofuel use. As development of biofuel is directly linked with the agricultural development, it will also help in raising the living standards of the rural people in Asia-Pacific. In addition to it, most of the Asia Pacific countries are depending upon imported oil and hence, allocate a huge reserve for oil purchase. So use of biofuel will certainly help them to cut their dependence on imported oil with added benefit of energy security.
