This document provides an overview of biofuels markets, trends, and key players. It discusses the growing global production and demand for biofuels like ethanol and biodiesel. Major companies involved include Neste Oil, Saria Group, Cargill, and Musim Mas. While biofuel use is increasing, challenges remain around sustainability standards, raw material supply, and ensuring biofuels don't compete with food production. Emerging markets in Asia and Africa are expected to see strong growth in biofuel blending mandates and production in the coming years.

Mini seminar Dutch Norwegian Business Network

2. Why this presentation?
Provide you a first glance into biofuels markets and developments
Create awareness on the biofuel opportunities and challenges
Stimulate business between Norwegian and Dutch businesses,
related to biofuels in Europe and Africa
This presentation is based on a number of our projects e.g.:
1. “International business opportunities Biobased Economy”, Dutch
government (RVO), 2014
2. “Biofuel sustainability assessments / Due Diligence in Europe and
Africa”, different biofuel companies, 2013-2015

3. About Partners for Innovation
Company profile
Partners for Innovation is a leading Dutch bioenergy
consultancy firm working for industry, governments and
NGOs in the EU and Africa.
Together with our clients we realise sustainable and
profitable / economically viable solutions for a bio-based

11. Driving forces for increased biofuel use
REN21 10 YEARS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY PROGRESS
2004 End 2013
States / provinces / countries with Biofuels mandates 10 63
 Growing demand for energy in traffic and transport
 Growing climate change concern
 Agricultural support
 Energy security
 Biofuels legislation is developing globally

12. More and more countries worldwide with
biofuel support policies
IEA's Medium Term Renewable Energy Market Report 2013

13. Challenges for biofuels
 More stringent GHG emission savings standards
 Finding new raw materials meeting price, quality
and sustainability standards and requirements
 Growing demand for liquid fuels (also biofuels)
 Slow change of vehicle fleet and adoption of new
engine technologies
 Ensuring biofuel is not competing with food
Year GHG savings*
2009 35%
2017 50%
2018 60%

the Fuel Quality Directive)
* Compared to fossil fuels
Global Forum for Food and Agriculture, 15 - 17 January 2015, Berlin
FAO director-general José Graziano da Silva says: “It is
time to move to a food AND fuel debate. Competition
for resources and energy necessitates a "paradigm
shift" – Biofuels should be part of the mix.”
