Global Second Generation Biofuels Market, By Feedstock (Simple Lignocellulose, Complex Lignocellulose, Syngas, Algae, and Others), Application (Transportation, Power Generation and Others), Type (Cellulosic Ethanol, Biodiesel, Bio Butanol, Bio Dme, and Others), and Process (Biochemical Process and Thermochemical Process) – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029
Market Analysis and Size
In the ensuing decades, advanced biofuels will play a crucial role in national policies. They are a viable renewable energy source that can significantly contribute to developing nations' transportation and other systems de-carbonized. Separate from first-generation biofuels, second-generation biofuels have developed. Instead, they are cases of new industrial dynamics that are now a part of the so-called bio-economy, which has seen a rise in the availability of biomass-based goods for use as food, feed, energy, and biomaterials.
Global second generation biofuels market was valued at USD 6970.00 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 51815.27 million by 2029, registering a CAGR of 28.50% during the forecast period of 2022-2029. The market report curated by the Data Bridge Market Research team includes technological advancements, regulatory framework, PESTEL, porter's five forces analysis, industry standards-at a glance, raw material costs/ operational expenditure-overview, supply chain analysis, vendor selection criteria, pricing analysis, production analysis, and climate chain scenario.

Market Definition
The biofuels are made through modern biological processes like anaerobic digestion unlike traditional fuels made through geological processes. Second-generation biofuels, also referred to as cellulosic ethanol or olive-green fuel, are basically acquired from nonfood yields such as wood, vegetable oil, forest waste, industrial waste, food crop waste and ecological biomass crops.
Second Generation Biofuels Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:
Drivers
- High Usage of Biofuels due to Environmental Benefits
The market for porous electrodes for electrolysis is expected to benefit from the production of biofuels through the aerobic/anaerobic digestion of biomass, which helps to reduce the use of fossil fuels for power generation or fueling vehicles. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that if biofuels are produced sustainably in an amount equal to the net carbon dioxide absorbed by the oceans, they will likely replace enough petroleum products to prevent the annual emission of gigatons of carbon dioxide. As a result, the second generation biofuels’ demand will accelerate further, thus propelling the overall market growth.
Furthermore, the expanding installation of biofuels generation facilities or bio-refineries across the globe is projected to be aided by the growing awareness of the harmful impacts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which are mostly brought on by the combustion of fossil fuels into the environment. The growing environmental concerns about fossil fuel-based power generation is further anticipated to boost the adoption of second generation biofuels.
Opportunities
- Favourable Regulatory Environment
The favorable regulatory environment on SOx and NOx in addition to GHG emissions are estimated to further extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.
- Innovation and Development of Technologies
Furthermore, the Increase in innovation and development of commercially viable technology to enable the generation of cellulosic ethanol from some agricultural waste and municipal solid waste are estimated to further provide growth opportunities for the second generation biofuels market.
Restraints/Challenges
- High Feedstock Costs
The purchase of affordable feedstock is the biggest obstacle to second-generation biofuels' market expansion. Feedstock cost is essential to the economic viability of second generation biofuels because it contributes 80 to 90 percent to the final fuel price for various processes. Feedstock costs are still high, which is frequently caused by handling, transporting, and processing (such as shredding, densifying, pulverizing, and handling) rather not necessarily by the production of the feedstock itself.
- Drawbacks of Second Generation Biofuels
Furthermore, the second generation biofuels possess various complications such as sophisticated downstream processes as well as the land and water use competition. These complications further pose as a serious challenge to the growth of the second generation biofuels market.

COVID-19 Impact on Second Generation Biofuels Market
The coronavirus pandemic had an adverse impact on the second generation biofuels market. This effect is mostly attributable to the large delays in the delivery of raw materials, the availability of low-wage workers, which caused the closure of many manufacturing firms and decreased demand for second-generation biofuels during this time. The unanticipated outbreak led to many levels of lockdowns and the stoppage of activities in several industrial sectors. Nearly all industries have been impacted by the pandemic, which has also significantly hindered numerous industrial processes and affected the supply chain. The labor shortage directly impacted the production and manufacturing operations, which significantly restrained market growth and expansion. Moreover, the decline in demand for a number of non-essential goods and the suspension of construction have affected the growth of the worldwide market. Therefore, it is anticipated that the aforementioned reasons will negatively affect the expansion of the global market for second-generation biofuels during the pandemic.
On the plus side, the second generation biofuels market continued to recover from the COVID-19 epidemic in the second half of 2021.
