Algae 2020 Vol 2: Emerging Markets for Fuel, Feed, Fiber and Nutrition
Summary, Table of Contents and Order Form ( PDF, 3MB)	Global Algae Producers, Projects, Ventures, Technologies, Investors, and Sustainable BioEnergy Endeavors The Algae 2020 study is a fact-filled guide designed for investors, producers, entrepreneurs, governments, researchers, consultants and executives.  Algae 2020 provides a comprehensive roadmap for the commercialization of biofuels, drop-in fuels, biochems and biomass markets based on site visits with more than 40 organizations. Algae 2020 provides detailed case studies of leading companies, projects, ventures, public-private partnerships, research labs, and provides a set of scenarios, business strategies, market forecasts and an outlook for algal biofuels and biomass product commercialization to the year 2020.
Emerging Markets for Fuel, Feed, Food, Fiber and Nutrition In a world of fast-changing regulations, there is a lot at stake in the biofuels arena. In 2013 and for several years in a row, continuing uncertainty and impending sustainability criteria in the EU and U.S. first generation biodiesel and ethanol markets are effectively limiting the growth of traditional biodiesel and ethanol markets. The full impact of these regulations in the EU and the U.S. continues to present a major risk for first-generation biofuels stakeholders. In the capital markets, investors have far more confidence in market demand as a measure of long-term opportunity in transport fuels and petrochemical derivatives. For this reason, the early leaders in advanced algae and microbial fuels are diversifying into portfolio strategies. Over the next decade, the U.S., EU and the big emerging markets of China, India, Brazil and Africa will demand more energy, fuel, feed and fiber. Governments and investors are keen to see more algae producers rise to the challenge, demonstrate proof of concept, and deliver on promises for advanced biofuels, drop-in fuels, feed, food, fiber and nutritional products. Algae for Emerging Fuels, Feed, Food, Fiber, Nutrition Needs The key findings from Emerging Markets’ continuing R&D efforts in Algae Biomass development reveal four common elements are critical for any algae company to attract investment and survive in uncertain regulatory and market conditions. The companies that have successfully attracted capital and graduated from the lab into pilot and demonstration projects have four fundamental elements in common: 1. A diversified portfolio of fuels, advanced biofuels, drop-in fuels, feed, food, fiber, biojet fuel, green chemicals and biopolymers. 2. The ability to demonstrate proof of concept to investors beyond the lab/bench scale. 3. The production of advanced biofuels and fungible drop-in fuels. 4. Many utilizing thermochemical systems engineering platforms, or molecular biology approaches. Algae 2020 Vol 2 provides detailed case studies of leading companies, public-private partnerships, research labs, and provides a set of scenarios, business strategies and an outlook for algal biofuels commercialization to the year 2020.

Biodiesel 2020, second edition examines the trend towards lower cost multiple feedstocks, and provides analysis of emerging projects and markets for jatropha curcas, palm, soy, and rapeseed based biodiesel ventures in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This study also reviews major projects in progress for lower-cost feedstocks from renewable diesel including tallow, used vegetable oil, yellow grease and waste recycling. Algae-based biodiesel projects are also reviewed in detail. This study finds the global market for biodiesel is poised for explosive growth in the next ten years. Although Europe currently represents 80% of global biodiesel consumption and production, the U.S. is now ramping up production at a faster rate than Europe. With the arrival of 2nd generation biofuels and non food feedstocks jatropha, algae and municipal waste, it is possible Biodiesel could represent as much as 10% of all on-road diesel used in Brazil, Europe, China and India by the year 2020. If governments continue to aggressively pursue 2nd generation biofuels research and development; enact investor-friendly tax incentives for production and blending; and help to promote research & development in new biodiesel feedstocks such as algae biodiesel, the prospects for achieving sustainable biodiesel markets may become realized faster than anticipated. Biodiesel 2020 finds that each of these variables will be essential to the eventual success of these targets.
