About Biofuels
Biofuels are renewable fuels that are produced through biological processes such as anaerobic digestion or agriculture, rather than the fuels produced through geological processes such as coal and petroleum. Biofuels primarily include ethanol and biodiesel and have numerous advantages such as lower carbon emissions over fossil fuels.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global biofuels market to grow at a CAGR of 3.87% during the period 2017-2021.
