Transitioning from 1st Generation to Advanced Biofuels
by GTM Research in partnership with Enterprise Florida, Inc. In recent years, the growth in the U.S. biofuels production and consumption has been driven largely by policy measures. Mandates are requiring increasing amounts of biofuels to be blended into the nation’s petroleum supply.
While corn ethanol has played a key role in establishing the U.S. biofuel industry, it will never be a comprehensive solution to displacing petroleum. As a result, policymakers, research institutes, and entrepreneurs are beginning to invest significant amounts of resources into research and development and the commercialization of advanced biofuels.
