Demand and Supply-side Dynamics in the EU Biofuels Market

By: Bharat Book Bureau



By assessing production and imports of biofuel, in addition to service station and vehicle numbers in selected national markets, this brief considers the availability of the fuel. It also assesses the drivers for consumer demand for biofuels, including current taxation policies. Vitally it examines how this has changed over the last 12 months.

Scope of this report

Detailed analysis on the consumption of biofuels in nine EU States and how this has changed over the last 12 months

Insight into how Europe's production base for biofuels has suffered due to imports and the extent to which its refining capacity is being dismantled.

An overview of how biofuels are faring in the light of competition from other alternative fuels such as CNG, LPG and electricity

Research and analysis highlights

The lack of fiscal incentives for biofuels has had a significant impact on sales. Sales of high-blended biofuels have suffered in particular as they have lost their price advantage against regular petrol and diesel. Falling demand for these stronger blends has also been a factor in a number of biofuel producers going bankrupt.

Europe's production base for biofuels has also been severely affected by the large increases in US imports to Europe. The disparity in the subsidies received by US biofuel producers versus EU producers, in addition to the increase in 'splash and dash' imports, has caused many to cease trading and to sell their machinery abroad.

Despite the growing popularity of other fuels such as LPG and CNG, biofuels will remain the core alternative fuel in the future. Whereas CNG and Autogas have gained a significant share in some markets, the use of biofuels has been enshrined in legislation and they will ultimately be blended into every liter of road fuel sold in Europe.
