EVs Are Offering Stiff Competition to the Biofuels Market
Biofuels have been helping to decarbonize the transportation sector for decades. More recently, however, electrification has drawn increased attention and interest as evidenced by a spike in EV sales. Decarbonization in the transportation industry stands at a crossroads while many factors are driving faster and deeper adoption of EVs, including government incentives, lower prices, and improved performance. At the same time, biofuels continue to evolve to include new drop-in products that will target applications beyond road transport to also include transoceanic shipping and aviation.
This Guidehouse Insights report reviews how these market trends are forcing automakers, biofuels producers, and other industry stakeholders to readdress their approaches to decarbonizing transportation. It also provides detailed and actionable recommendations for industry participants to address this new phenomenon.
