It is expected that biofuels will account for 9% of the world's total energy after 19 years

Philip New, president of BP's biofuels business unit, said in London on June 27th that the biofuel industry is a sustainable and competitive industry. It is expected that by 2030, biofuels will account for 9% of the world's total energy.

Zhou Xiujie, a researcher in the energy industry of China Investment Advisors, pointed out that with the continuous development of social economy in recent years, the consumption of traditional fossil energy has gradually increased, the shortage of petroleum resources has become increasingly prominent, and international oil prices have continued to rise. Moreover, due to the serious environmental pollution problem of petroleum resources, the current global warming issue is also increasingly serious. Therefore, under the influence of factors such as shortage of oil resources, high international oil prices, environmental pollution, and global climate change, the search for clean and sustainable alternative energy sources has become a major development direction for countries in the world.

At present, new energy sources, such as hydropower, wind energy, solar energy, nuclear energy, and bio-energy, which are clean and sustainable can be highly valued. Bioenergy is superior to hydro energy, wind energy, solar energy, nuclear energy, and other energy sources. It has advantages in the diversity of raw material sources and product diversity, and is now widely recognized as the only energy product that can replace petroleum fuels on a large scale. To develop very quickly.

According to relevant statistics, since the beginning of the 21st century, due to the rapid development of biofuels in Brazil, the United States, the European Union, China and other countries and regions, the global biofuel production has grown at an average annual growth rate of 10%. By 2009, global biofuel production has reached 72.19 million tons. Among them, the production of fuel ethanol was approximately 58.59 million tons, and the output of biodiesel was approximately 13.6 million tons. It is estimated that by 2050, global biofuels will account for a quarter of global fuel.

The “2011-2015 China Biotechnology Industry Investment Analysis and Prospect Forecast Report” released by the China Investment Advisor shows that the sources of raw materials and products of biofuels have diverse characteristics. Among them, in terms of raw material sources, crop straws, forestry processing residues, organic wastewater waste residues, urban garbage, and energy plants can all be used as raw materials for biofuels; in terms of products, biofuels also have liquid bioethanol and diesel, solid state Prototype and molded fuel, gaseous biogas and other forms of products.

Zhang Zhenlin, research director of China Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. pointed out that due to energy shortages and other issues, countries around the world have attached great importance to the development of the biofuel industry. At present, in order to promote the further development of the domestic biofuel industry, most countries in the world have formulated corresponding policies and mechanisms. It is expected that with the support of relevant policies of various countries and breakthroughs in key technologies, the production scale of biofuels will be further expanded, and its development prospects are more optimistic.
