A new report on sustainable production of second generation biofuels released by IEA this month describes the current and future situation of technologies and business opportunities in major economies and developing countries (Brazil, Cameroon, China, India, Mexico, South Africa, Tanzania and Thailand).
Study shows that 10% of global residues could yield in 2030 to around 155 billion lge (5.2 EJ) BTL-diesel or lignocellulosic-ethanol, or roughly 4.1% of the projected transport fuel demand at that time. Using 25% of global residues could fully cover the entire biofuel demand projected in the World Energy Outluk (WEO) 2009 450 Scenario.
