February 02, 2009

 

Wellesley, Mass—A new market news review, ALTERNATIVE FUELS ADVISOR 2008 REVIEW (EGY059B) from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), provides a comprehensive overview of the global alternative fuels industry, offering detailed insight into current and emerging technologies and markets.

The 2008 Alternative Fuels Advisor Review is a compilation of articles by topical section that appeared in the 2008 bi-monthly issues of AltFuels Advisor. AltFuels Advisor provides industry news and technical developments on information and business opportunities related to renewable fuels, biofuels, natural gas, propane, hydrogen, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, fuel cells, plug-ins and other forms of alternative energy. This review provides a summary of the news trends and events in 2008 driving the development, production and use of alternative fuels for all types of vehicles and supplies of energy.

Topics highlighted in this News Review include:

  • Trends in biofuels such as advancements in algae, emerging feedstocks and the impact of genome sequencing
  • Various waste-to-energy projects including landfill-to-biogas, municipal solid waste to ethanol and biogas from chicken manure
  • Environmental issues surrounding the use of alternative fuels
  • Advancements in the use of propane and natural gas for energy and transportation segments
  • Technological progress in hydrogen extraction, storage and transport
The review also includes sections examining administrative issues and industry structure. Trends in investments and geographical considerations are summarized. Effects of worldwide governmental policy and regulation are examined in detail. 
 
Non-fossil energy use in the U.S. is growing rapidly, but fossil fuel will still be providing 79% of the U.S. total energy in 2030. From now through 2030, nuclear power will hold more or less steady. The same can be said for coal and natural gas, making liquid biofuels and the renewables (excluding liquid biofuels) the largest new entry. Energy use per dollar of U.S. gross domestic product will continue to decline from now through 2030. The per capita energy use in the U.S. also will decline. The net dependence of the U.S. on imported fossil fuel liquids will decline over the next 20 years. Consumption of fossil fuel liquids will fall slightly and domestic supply will increase.
 
The petroleum based liquids consumption is projected to be flat and biofuels use will grow from now through 2030. Biofuels will continue to make substantial gains and the transportation sectors consumption will hold steady at about 22 million barrels per day from 2008 to 2030.
