Get Up-to-Date on A to Z of the Indian Biofuels Industry

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c85218) has announced the
addition of "Analyzing the Indian Biofuel Industry" to their offering.

Although biofuels are mainly used to replace or supplement the
traditional petroleum-based transportation fuels, they can also be
deployed to generate heat and electricity. Being an alternative to
fossils, biofuels can be applied to existing vehicles with little or
no engine modification. Although they release CO2 when burned in
internal combustion engines, they differ from fossil fuels partly
because their use reduces the net emission of carbon dioxide and other
gases associated with global climate change and partly because they
are biodegradable.

Biofuels have had a long history of use in the transport sector.
This began in the 1970s and early 1980s when a substantial increase in
biofuels production and use in many countries resulted from high oil
prices. But biofuels became less competitive vis-a-vis fossil fuels
after the collapse of oil prices in the mid-1980s, and global interest
in biofuels for transport waned considerably in the 1990s and the
first years of the 21st century.

The recent sustained increase in international oil prices has once
again highlighted the potential for biofuels to contribute to
transport fuel demand, particularly in countries that import the bulk
of fossil fuel supplies. Global concerns about the effects of fossil
fuel use on the environment, as well as recognition of the benefits of
energy supply diversification also support increasing biofuels
production and use.

There is a lot happening in the field of biofuels in India, and to
capture these, this report brings you the complete guide to the Indian
Biofuels Industry - Analyzing the Indian Biofuels Industry.

The report begins with an analysis of the basic know-how's one
needs to be familiar with before starting on the fascinating journey
of discovering the biofuels industry in India. The economics of
biofuels, issues facing the industry, regulatory barriers as well as
incentives, technologies involved, major types of biofuels, and many
other topics are discussed in depth at the starting of the report.

The report then moves on to the sections dedicated to a thorough
analysis of the Indian Biofuels Industry. Information and research
included in this section ranges from an overview of the industry,
issues the industry is dealing with, questions about price
sustainability, risks involved in biofuel investment, and much more.

The huge support the biofuel industry receives from the Indian
government in form of incentives, tax exemptions, favourable policies
etc., and factors contributing to the success of the biofuel industry
in the country are also focused upon in the report.

Moving ahead, the research report covers the Indian ethanol and
biodiesel industry in-depth. These sections cover information
pertaining to market statistics, various regulations governing these
markets, production statistics, industry potential, market challenges,
the various requirements for production of ethanol and biodiesel, and
much more. Role of various ministries in the Indian biofuel industry
is also looked upon briefly.

Case studies from the Indian biofuel industry makes up the
concluding sections, with an analysis of the major projects ongoing &
proposed.

Analysis of the major industry players such as Reliance
Industries, Godrej Agrovet, Emami Group, and others concludes this
research report.
