Research and Markets: Algae for Fuel, Algal Oil, Biofuels, Ethanol, Biodiesel and the Future of Petroleum and Green Energy

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4feb7e/algae_for_fuel_al) has
announced the addition of the "Algae For Fuel, Algal Oil, Biofuels, Ethanol,
Biodiesel And The Future Of Petroleum And Green Energy: Global Markets,
Technologies, And Opportunities: 2009-2020 Analysis and Forecasts" report to
their offering.

This research provides an overview on what could become one of the most
significant technological and economic events of the early 21st century: turning
algae into fuel, i.e. algal oil, on a commercial scale. If this feat is
accomplished, and it's not certain it will be, it will have dramatic, disruptive
consequences to oil producers, oil refiners, ethanol, biodiesel and other
biofuels producers, biotechnology companies, agricultural producers, consumers,
motor vehicle makers, regulators, R&D activities and investors, among others.

However, from this change will come enormous opportunities, including less
dependence on petroleum oil, more geopolitical independence, reductions in CO2
and global warming, technological advancements, very large, new industries and
markets, and huge profits.

The report provides a review of algae in terms of biology, classifications,
photosynthesis and applications and discusses algae for fuel in terms of its
history, applications, cultivation technologies and R&D. Analysis of the algal
oil market in terms of its advantages, challenges, production costs, scale-up,
market opportunity and sector investments is given. The biofuels market in terms
of technology generations, market drivers, industry consolidation, next
generation technologies, fuel standards, winners/losers, government policies,
the oil majors, capital costs and future outlook is discussed. An analysis of
the biodiesel market as regards production technology, end use, global
production, addressable market, feedstocks, market conditions, environmental
controversies, jatropha oil and major players is given. An analysis of the
ethanol market in terms of first, second and third generation technologies, food
vs. fuel, global production, risks and opportunities, government incentives and
major players is provided. Profiles of 56 major players in the algal oil market
are given and 175 biofuels, ethanol and biodiesel companies and organizations
are discussed.
