Biomass demand for biochemicals and biofuels forecast to rise to 3.7 bn tonnes by 2030

摘要

Biofuels and biochemicals need more than 1 bn tonne/y to replace 3% of total petroleum products and by 2030, this number will soar to 3.7 bn tonnes, according to a report by Lux Research entitled, "Finding Feedstocks for the Bio-Based Fuels and Chemicals of Today and 2030." This growing challenge will require feedstock innovations such as crop modification, new value chain configurations, and agronomic technology improvements like irrigation and biosensors.
