Second-Generation Biofuels Market Analysis

Application (Transportation, Power Generation)

The transportation segment in second-generation biofuels market is anticipated to garner the highest revenue by the end of 2037. The growth of the segment can be attributed to growing urbanization. Approximately 4.4 billion people, or 56% of the world's population, reside in urban areas. By 2050, approximately 7 out of 10 people will live in cities, with the urban population predicted to more than double its current size. The demand for transportation grows along with the population of metropolitan areas. The transportation sector contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, and the usage of second-generation biofuels helps reduce these emissions. Since they are produced from renewable energy resources and minimize reliance on non-renewable resources such as oil, biofuels are seen as a more environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

Process (Biochemical Process, Thermochemical Process)

The thermochemical process segment in second-generation biofuels market is expected to have the highest growth over the forecast period. The manufacturing of second-generation biofuels heavily relies on thermochemical processes. Non-food feedstocks, including forestry and agricultural waste, may be converted into biofuels quite effectively using thermochemical techniques. Second-generation biofuels are produced from a range of non-food feedstocks, unlike first-generation biofuels, which are primarily made from food crops. Moreover, biofuels with a high energy density could be created using thermochemical processes, making them ideal for use in transportation-related applications. Gasification and pyrolysis thermochemical processes produce biofuels with energy densities that are comparable to or even surpass those of fossil fuels.
