Use of Biofuels Expected to Grow By 2015

Global use of biofuels should more than double by 2015, with U.S. biofuel use expected to grow by more than 35 percent, according to a report by Hart's Global Biofuels Center. This growth projection is optimistic considering key issues such as land use and competition for feedstocks supplies.

According to the outlook, Hart's predicts Brazil to grow domestic supplies by 30 percent and more than double export volume of biofuels. In addition, Indonesia and Malaysia are expected to see double production of palm oil biodiesel, while Germany will remain the largest producer of biofuels in Europe.

Countries that are expected to be new on the biofuels scene between 2009 and 2015 include Indonesia, France, China, India, Thailand, Colombia, Malaysia, Philippines and Argentina. The most prominent biofuels will be first generation ethanol, palm oil biodiesel and rapeseed biodiesel from Europe.
