About Bio-based Butanol
Bio-based butanol is a plant-based alcohol produced from sugarcane, grains, corn, cellulose, etc. It is expected to emerge as an important bio-fuel in the near future as it is eco-friendly, delivers double the renewable content compared to existing biofuels, and is also compatible with current engine technologies. Thus, automobile manufacturers do not need to innovate or compromise on performance for using it as a fuel. Using bio-butanol can help significantly in reducing carbon emissions. As per data released by EPA in the US, hydrocarbon, nitrogen oxide, and carbon monoxide emissions can be reduced considerably by using bio-based butanol.
Technavio's analysts forecast the global bio-based butanol market to grow at a CAGR of 9.27% over the period 2014-2019.
