Biofuels at the crossroads

23 Mar 2011
In just a few days, the largest and broadest collection of speakers and attendees in bioenergy and its related fields comes together at World Biofuels Markets, and in just a few weeks the industry’s leadership gathers at the Advanced Biofuels Leadership Conference. We do so just as the advanced biofuels sector approaches a crossroads that divides the R&D phase from the commercialization phase. We note that Clean Tech Reports has announced that biofuels revenues globally grew more than 30 percent last year, to billion globally, and advanced biofuels leaders predicted 44 percent growth for 2011. That’s astonishing, and welcome, but its not always a bed of roses every day in the business of bioenergy. It is worth noting a series of trends that will challenge, or make easier, that transition from promise to reality.
