categories of the biofuel industry and their future markets together
with an overview on the opportunities and challenges associated with
the development of biofuel market.

Asia-Pacific Biofuel Industry

Decreasing oil production from almost all the oil reserves is
attracting the world's eyes towards renewable energy sources. Rising
energy consumption and environmental issues has now shifted the focus
towards biofuel use, particularly in transportation. Though the
biofuel industry is in its initial stages in Asia-Pacific, there is a
huge potential for its development in the region. Most of the
governments are supportive towards the biofuel use and are planning to
implement regulation in support of biofuel use. As development of
biofuel is directly linked with the agricultural development, it will
also help in raising the living standards of the rural people in
Asia-Pacific. In addition to it, most of the Asia Pacific countries
are depending upon imported oil and hence, allocate a huge reserve for
oil purchase. So use of biofuel will certainly help them to cut their
dependence on imported oil with added benefit of energy security.
