between 2017 and 2021, as a combination of higher oilprices, emerging mandate. Given the scale of development, to date, and the crystallization of interests among a diverse range of stakeholders, widespread biofuels commercialization is no longer a question of “if’’, but “when”. A more robust growth is expected.
National energy security is a primary driver for many nations, as increasing percentages of biofuels within the petroleum supply chain dampens the effects of spikes in oilprices on retail fuel prices.
A co-production scenario—yet to be commercial—would take unconverted syngas from the FT reactor and combust it in a combined cycle power plant to generate electricity that is sold to the grid. Even with CCS, the liquid product costs are comparable to recent crude oilprices.
Previous studies have attempted to explain the slow commercialization of cellulosic and algal biofuels qualitatively, however few have presented financial analysis across the sector, the authors observe. Over the last decade, the second-generation biofuels industry has struggled to reach commercialization. —Miller et al.
