Will the Biofuels Industry See More $500 Million Contracts?

PR Web -- October 5, 2012 -- Using their biofuels market data the energy analysts at NRG Expert found these countries to be the winners in the global biofuels market place:

Winners

• Japan will become a growing biofuels market following the implementation of new biofuels legislation in the short term.
• China and India may also become significant biofuel markets.
• Some new countries are entering the sector on a commercial scale, such as the Philippines and Thailand.

Other countries face losing their biofuels subsidies and strong price competition so are unlikely to experience growth. There is also a concern that biofuels are taking away land from food stock.

Losers

• US biodiesel producers are likely to be affected by the expiration of subsidies at the end of the year.
• The EU biofuels market may contract slightly with the removal of subsidies in some key member states, e.g. the Netherlands.
• Cheaper fuels from Latin America in 2009 meant the US and EU biofuel markets are finding it hard to compete. Overall though, if companies can take advantage of the favourable legislation and growth potential in Asia, then NRG EXPERT expects the latter part of 2012 to be a good year for biomass companies.
