The advanced biofuel market was valued at USD 1.46 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 13.9 percent between 2025 and 2034.
This growth reflects the rising global demand for sustainable energy alternatives as countries prioritize energy secure ty, carbon footprint reduction, and long-term energy diversification.
Governments worldwide are actively promoting policies that encourage biofuel production, aligning with broader climate goals. The advanced biofuel market is gaining momentum as a viable solution to mitigate dependence on fossil fuels, offering an eco-friendly alternative without compromising efficiency.
Advanced Biofuel Market Trends
Rising government favorable policies and incentives to encourage the production and consumption of advanced fuels including the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) in the U.S., the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) in the EU, and tax incentives such as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Production Tax Credit (PTC) will fuel the product penetration. These policies stimulate investment as well as promote research and development in the biofuels sector.
Rising global funding in biofuel projects, with programs including the U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) and the EU Innovation Fund will improve the product adoption. In February 2024, in line with President Biden’s Investing in America initiative, U.S. EPA along with the U.S. DOE declared a funding opportunity announcement worth USD 9.4 million to propel the development of advanced biofuels.
Heightened corporate commitment towards attaining net zero carbon emissions, in sectors such as aviation, shipping, and logistics, is expected to elevate the demand for advanced biofuels that have minimal infrastructure modifications. In addition, oil-importing nations are beginning to produce biofuels domestically to reduce dependence on crude oil which promotes energy security but also uplifts the rural economy through bio-refineries, positively enhancing the advanced biofuel market outlook.
Eminent players operating in the advanced biofuel industry are: Advanced Biofuel Solutions, BP, Clariant, ExxonMobil, Gevo, GranBio, Green Plains, Iogen, POET, Solix Biofuels, among others.
The increasing emphasis on reducing reliance on foreign oil has pushed nations to explore renewable energy options. Advanced biofuels stand out as an optimal choice due to their ability to significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining performance levels comparable to conventional fuels. Various international mandates, subsidies, and tax incentives are further propelling the industry’s expansion, making advanced biofuels more accessible and economically viable.
Technological advancements in refining processes, particularly in feedstock optimization and enzymatic hydrolysis, have enhanced fuel efficiency and cost-effectiveness. With rising fuel demands and global net-zero emission targets, the sector is poised for substantial growth over the next decade.
