Report Overview
About Automotive Biofuels
Biofuels are fuels produced through biological processes such as anaerobic digestion of biological (mostly plant derived) materials rather than geological processes that are involved in the formation of fossil fuels. In this report, we have considered ethanol and biodiesel as the two major types of biofuels that are used as automotive fuels.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global automotive biofuels market to grow at a CAGR of 8.37% during the period 2017-2021.
