DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c85662) has announced the
addition of "Analyzing China's 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 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 China, and to
capture these, new research brings you the complete guide to the
Chinese Biofuels Industry - Analyzing China's Biofuels Industry.

Report Breakdown

The report begins with an analysis of the basic know-hows one
needs to be familiar with before starting on the fascinating journey
of discovering the biofuels industry in China. 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.

Divided into eleven sections,the report then moves on to Section
2, which analyzes the Chinese Energy Industry. From looking at the
energy challenges facing the country to the macroeconomic drivers in
China, and the rising demand for energy in the transportation sector,
the section also takes a look at the various sectors of the energy
industry such as oil, natural gas, electricity, coal, amongst others.

Section 3 is focused on the Chinese Biofuels Industry. History of
the industry's development through the years, the biofuel diffusion
policy in China, position of the biofuel policy in the Chinese
renewable energy plan, the strategic implementation of the biofuel
policy, and the dominating role of the Chinese government in the
biofuels industry is analyzed in details in the report.

Section 4 is a complete analysis of the biodiesel industry in
China. Market overview, statistics, R&D profile, production, and
end-use technologies are just some of the points focused on in this
section. A comprehensive analysis is carried out on the availability
of biomass for biodiesel production and the potential use of these
biomass sources in agriculture and forestry. Biomass sources such as
Jatropha Curcas, Pistacia chinensis Bunge, Xanthoceras sorbifolia
Bunge, and many others are discussed in this section. Seedcake and
Glycerin are analyzed as the by-products. Markets and cost analysis of
the by-products of biodiesel are something to watch out for in the
report.

The economics, prices and competitiveness of biodiesel in China is
touched upon, along with the benefits of biodiesel and the barriers
facing the development of biodiesel in China.

The future of biodiesel till 2020 in terms of biodiesel demand and
production potential is also included.

Section 5 moves on to analyzing the bioethanol industry in China.
Market overview, statistics, end-use technologies, biomass such as
sweet sorghum, cassava, sugarcane, etc., are analyzed in the section.
By products, economics of bioethanol along with prices and
competitiveness is also focused upon. Benefits of bioethanol in China
and barriers facing the development of the bioethanol industry in
China is also analyzed. A study of the use of cellulose ethanol in
China is also explored in-depth.

Section 6 analyzes the potential of biomass to liquids in China.
Availability of BTL in the country, potential of BTL, by-products, the
economics, prices and competitiveness of BTL is analyzed in the
section.

China's biofuel industry and the national energy policy is
researched, along with the policy framework on liquid biofuels.
China's energy scenario and the role of biofuels is another point
researched in section 7.

Section 8 and 9 analyzes China's biodiesel and bioethanol
industries in a SWOT Framework Analysis, while section 10 analyzes the
leading industry contributors such as Anhui Fengyuan Petrochemical,
Biolux, Henan Tianguan Group, etc. The section profiles ten industry
players, thus concluding the report.

Companies mentioned:

- Biolux

- D1Energy Plc

- Daimler Chrysler

- Handan Gushan Olea Chemical Ltd

- Henan Tianguan Group

- Jilin Fuel Alcohol Company Ltd

- Sichuan Gushan Oil & Fat Chemical Ltd

- Wuxi Huahong Biofuel CO. Ltd
