Key market issues and outlook
„ Global biofuels industry by 2016
- Global bioethanol share to reach about 5% of world motor gasoline use by
2016

„ “Imperfect market” – largely driven by governmental incentives


„ Key drivers – energy security – GHG – domestic agriculture - high energy
prices
„ 2nd generation production technologies – commercial introduction around
2012 - require technological breakthrough
- 3rd ++ technologies – large potential – uncertain timescale
- Biosafety challenges

Market potential show a differences in import/export potential.
New actors likely to emerge in the global biofuel market
Regional trade potential
Import, domestic consumption Import, domestic consumption

Domestic increase?
Global exporter?

Global export

Market outlook: Increased demand in USA, EU, China and Japan. Increased
production and potentially export from S.C.America, Africa and Asian Pacific
