Report Overview
Solid, liquid, or gaseous fuels that are produced from biomass are called biofuels. They are renewable and are good substitutes to fossil fuels. Most biofuels available in the market today are made from plants. They are often used as transportation fuels.
Certain plants are being cultivated specifically for biofuel production. In the U.S., switchgrass, soybeans, and corn are the major sources of biofuel. Brazil uses sugar cane while Europe processes sugar beet and wheat. Other agricultural products being processed into biofuels are cassava and sorghum in China, miscanthus and palm oil in Southeast Asia, and jatropha in India.
Examples of biofuels are biodiesel, bio-alcohols (bio-ethanol, biomethanol, biobutanol), biogas, syngas, and solid biofuels like wood, charcoal, and sawdust. Countries that have strongly promoted biofuel development and use include Brazil, the U.S., France, Sweden, and Germany.
The two most widely used types of biofuels are bio-alcohols and biodiesel, so this report mainly focuses on bio-ethanol and biodiesel.
The global Biofuels market size is projected to grow from US$ 14930 million in 2024 to US$ 27100 million in 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2024 to 2030.

There are many types of biofuels, including bioethanol, biodiesel, biogas, renewable methanol and sustainable aviation fuel. They can be produced from different raw materials, such as crop waste, forestry waste, urban domestic waste and livestock and poultry manure. The production and use of biofuels are encouraged and supported worldwide, and many countries have implemented relevant policies to promote their development.
In terms of application, biofuels can be widely used in the automotive, ship and aviation fields, replacing fossil energy such as oil and natural gas. Biofuel cells are also one of the research hotspots. They use enzymes or microorganisms as catalysts to convert chemical energy into electrical energy, and have the characteristics of wide raw materials and environmental friendliness.
Although biofuels have great development potential, they still face challenges in raw material supply and cost. For example, the supply and cost of raw materials, as well as the low output of new liquid biofuels and the small variety of products need to be solved. In addition, the application of biofuels in the shipping industry also faces challenges in raw material supply and aviation demand.
Overall, as a green and renewable energy source, biofuels play an increasingly important role in the global energy structure transformation and environmental protection. With technological advancement and policy support, the market value and application scope of biofuels are expected to expand further.
