Growth Drivers
Around 65 million cars were sold globally in 2021, however that number rose to about 66 million in 2022. As a renewable substitute for fossil fuels in transportation, second-generation biofuels may be employed. They could be used in vehicles as a stand-alone fuel or blended with regular petrol or diesel. The automobile sector is interested in biofuels produced from non-food feedstock’s since they have the potential to lower greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.
In 2022, approximately 4,243 billion kilowatthours (kWh) (or approximately 4.24 trillion kWh) of electricity were generated by utility-scale electrical producing facilities in the United States. Electricity may be produced using second-generation biofuels. Burning biomass may produce heat, which may be utilized to create steam and power turbines to generate electricity. The technique is known as biomass combustion. Biofuels may additionally be utilized in fuel cells to directly generate power.
In addition to moving the deadline for blending about 19% ethanol into petrol from 2030 to 2025, the government of India has also planned to increase domestic biofuel production by approximately 9% annually.
In 2021, there were about 3 million metric tona of bioplastics produced globally. Second-generation biofuels could serve as a feedstock for the creation of bioplastics. For instance, some biofuels are produced using non-food feedstock such agricultural waste, forestry byproducts, and energy crops. These feedstocks could also be utilized to make biopolymers, which could then be used to make bioplastics.
Between 2002 and 2021, the value of US public residential construction investments increased significantly. The public sector made roughly USD 10 billion in residential building projects in 2021. Through the use of huge cars and heavy machinery that utilize a lot of fossil fuels, the construction industry does contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Second-generation biofuels produced from non-food feedstocks may offer a renewable alternative to fossil fuels for these vehicles and equipment, reducing emissions and mitigating the environmental implications of construction activities.
