The global next generation biofuels market size was valued at $6.0 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $59.4 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 26.4% from 2021 to 2030. Biofuels are produced through contemporary biological processes, such as anaerobic digestion rather than a fuel produced by geological processes. Second-generation biofuels are produced from non-food crops such as organic waste, wood, biomass crops, and food crop waste, whereas third-generation biofuels are based on improvements in the production of biomass and employs engineered energy crops, such as algae as its feedstock. Algae-based biofuels are expected to be manufactured into a wide range of fuels, such as petrol, diesel, and jet fuel.
The emergence of COVID 19 hampered the development of the next-generation biofuels sector in 2020, and it is expected to continue to do so until the end of 2021.
The next generation bio fuel market is majorly driven by rise in necessity to produce sustainable and clean energy, with negligible environmental impact. Second generation biofuel production technology allows manufacturing of commercially acceptable fuel that is developed with the help of inedible biomass. The key feedstocks that are used for next generation biofuels are non-food crop residues and agricultural residues, energy crops, wastes procured from forestry industry and algae. The key factors affecting the market growth of next generation biofuels are obtaining economical feedstock. However, feedstock cost contributes 80 to 90% of the final fuel cost which makes it difficult to increase the market growth. Moreover, production of next generation biofuels is experiencing growth in the countries with no or less petroleum reserves as it helps the countries to overcome spending toward import of biofuels.
The next generation biofuels market is segmented into biofuel type, process, raw material, application, and region. By biofuel type, the market is divided into biodiesels, biogas, biobutanol, and others. By process, it is bifurcated into biochemical process and thermochemical process. By raw material, it is fragmented into lignocellulose, Jatropha, Camelina, Algae and others. By application, it is classified into transportation, power generation and others. Region wise, the market is studied throughout North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
The key player profiled in this report include Algenol Biofuels, Chemtex Group, Abengoa S.A., Enerkem, Gevo, GranBio, Joule United, Inc., POET-DSM, Solazyme and Sundrop Fuels Inc. The global market report provides in-depth competitive analysis as well as profiles of these major players.
By biofuel type, the biodiesel segment held the largest revenue in the global next generation biofuels market share in 2020. The market for next generation biodiesel, that is, biomass-based biodiesel is expected to grow during the forecast period, due to the blending mandates imposed by governments.
By process, the thermochemical process segment expected to grow with healthy CAGR during the next generation biofuels market forecast period. Easy installation along with cost effectiveness over its available counterparts will drive the next generation biofuels industry growth.
By raw material, the lignocellulose segment held the largest revenue share in the global next generation biofuels market. Lignocellulose are biomass consisting several materials such as non-starch based fibrous part of plant material with distinctive physical and chemical characteristics.
By application, the transportation segment was the highest revenue contributor in 2020. Moreover, government mandates and rise in adoption of biofuels to reduce GHG emissions from vehicles as second-generation biofuels can considerably reduce the vehicular emission, which propels the next generation biofuels market growth.
By region, North America is expected to gain significant traction in the global next generation biofuels market owing to rising demand mainly form countries such as Canada, U.S., and others.
Key benefits for stakeholders
Impact of COVID-19 on the global next generation biofuels market
Lockdown imposed due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic resulted in temporary ban on import & export and manufacturing & processing activities across various industries and power generation, which decreased the demand for next generation biofuels from these consumers. In addition, halt in building & construction of new electric utility infrastructures, renewable power plants, grid network, and other power plants, owing to unavailability of workers and increase in demand–supply gap are projected to hamper the market growth during the pandemic period. This resulted in decline in market growth in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2020. However, the market is expected to recover by the first quarter of 2021, as COVID-19 vaccination has begun in various economies across the globe, which is expected to improve the global economy.

The next generation biofuels market is moving toward growth stabilization phase in its industry life cycle. The factors driving the growth of the market for next generation biofuels include rise in demand for transportation, power generation, and others. Biodiesel is a smooth renewable gas acquired from biomass. It is a long-chain mono-alkyl ester of fatty acid derived from vegetable oils and animal fat via the technique diagnosed as trans esterification that converts oils and fat into chemicals. Biochemical conversion of biomass entails uses of bacteria, microorganisms, and enzymes to breakdown biomass into gaseous or liquid fuels, consisting of biogas or bioethanol. Algae are diverse group of photosynthetic organisms. The production of biofuels start from the process of harvesting of algae, then extraction of oil, and finally the oil refined is used to produce biofuels.
The Asia-Pacific next generation biofuels market is expected to grow at the highest rate, owing to increase in investment in R&D activities to develop advanced biofuels.
