Market Perspectives for Products from Future Energy-Driven Biorefineries by 2020

摘要

Produced within the framework of the JRC Biofuel Thematic Programme, this study aims to identify promising market opportunities and penetration strategies for products from future energy-oriented biorefineries in Europe by 2020. In view of the immature status of energy biorefinery technologies and concepts, the analysis mostly sketches qualitative perspectives, but it does not make detailed quantitative projections. Since currently considered energy biorefineries concentrate on bioethanol-side streams, the focus of the analysis is on ethanol-related technologies, pathways and products.
