Global Algae Market Opportunities and
Strategies
Algae 2020 is a fact-filled guide designed for investors, producers,
researchers, consultants and entrepreneurs. Algae 2020 provides a comprehensive
roadmap for the commercialization of advanced biofuels, biomass and
biodiesel markets.
The Algae 2020 study offers detailed insight for algae production
systems, markets and strategies based on site visits and
collaborations with established and emerging companies,
public-private partnerships, research labs, and universities and technology commercialization to the year 2020.

Biofuel Markets: Demand for Biodiesel, Advanced
Drop-In Fuels, Biochems, Ethanol
Algae 2020 examines global algal biofuels and biomass
demand drivers and target markets, supported by profiles of
early-stage pre-commercial production companies, pilot and
demonstration projects, business models and market commercialization
prospects.
The Algae 2020 study observes algal biomass can produce
multiple fuels from a single feedstock, including biocrude, renewable
diesel, renewable gasoline, jet fuel, biodiesel and ethanol. Algae is also being
used in test trials for aviation, sea and road
transport.

Compared to other feedstocks, algae holds enormous potential as a
high-yield source of biocrude, advanced drop-in fuels, biodiesel, ethanol and aviation fuels without
competing for food supplies or arable land.
For first generation biofuels markets, algal strains with high oil
production potential bring much-needed feedstock to biodiesel and
petroleum refineries world-wide. An emerging trend algal biofuels is the
utilization of synthetic biology and genomics to enhance the
productivity and increase the utility of algae to produce advanced
drop-in fuels, animal livestock and fish feed, and green plastics and
chemicals from biopolymers.
Commercialization Outlook for Algal Biofuels and Biomass Products
More than a dozen
algae R&D projects, universities, research labs and commercial
producers are now completing pilot projects and entering early stage demonstration projects.
An emerging trend in algae projects is the production of algal-based
drop
in fuels - renewable diesel, gasoline and aviation fuels, and a
biomass focus on high-value products including: livestock and fish
protein, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets, and biodegradable
green plastics and chemicals from algal biopolymers.

Algae for Biocrude, Advanced Drop-In Fuels, Aviation Markets
and Biodiesel
For the Algae 2020 study, Emerging Markets Online examines
multiple applications for algae to supply growing first generation
biodiesel and ethanol markets. For 2nd generation and advanced
biofuels markets, algae is attracting increased investment to create
green bio-crude as a feedstock for petroleum and aviation companies.

For example, the US has invested more than 7 trillion dollars in its
existing petroleum refining, storage, pipeline and distribution
infrastructure. Algae oil or biocrude is a preferred alternative for
petrol and aviation organizations. For these emerging markets for
biomass-based fuels, Algae 2020 also measures market size and
potential for algae to serve 1st and 2nd gen biodiesel, ethanol,
biocrude, aviation, defense and petroleum markets.
The Algae 2020 management study finds the global markets for
algal biofuels and biomass are poised for explosive growth in the next ten years.
Around the world, an urgent demand for alternative, sustainable
fuels, and livestock feed is growing due to feedstock shortages
for biodiesel and ethanol, energy independence mandates and
initiatives, growing pollution concerns, and increasing population
growth in the Emerging Markets of China, India, Africa and the
Americas.
Algae Investments on The Rise
2008-2009 witnessed more than $300 million dollars in combined investments and
commitments to algae fuels-based public private partnerships,
private companies, and first-stage commercial projects.
2010 is expected to see increased investment towards the acceleration and
commercialization of algal biofuels technologies.
The
Algae 2020 study offers a unique, comprehensive perspective
of the algal biofuels and biomass industry by directly visiting and surveying many
of these endeavors and presents a composite of emerging solutions
and outstanding challenges from a wide sample of data sources,
enterprises, universities, associations, and expert opinions.

Evolution of Algae Companies From R&D to Pilot to Demonstration
Phases
A key finding from the Algae 2020 study: algal biofuels
have matured significantly in the last few years, moving from small
research labs, to pilot projects, to small scale demonstration
projects, and now to first-stage pre-commercial trials for CO2
capture in a handful of projects.
