What are the Opportunities for Biofuels in Moving Towards Carbon Neutrality?

Biofuels play an important role in energy transition needs as countries move to sustainable solutions in concert with the international community. Due to changing public policies, increased government incentives and growing consumer demand, biofuels have become an advanced solution for low carbon energy, drawing the attention of oil and gas companies, the agro-industry, chemical companies and wood processing industries.

As with most global economies, the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on the biofuel industry globally. Although the growth in usage of biofuels appears to be stagnant, they expect the demand to grow over time as longer-term investments are made in the effort to replace low oil prices. More aviation and marine players are actively working on blending biofuels and kerosene to create greener fuel.
