Our analysis reveals slow and steady growth for the advanced biofuel industry. Although some projects have been divested since last year’s report, numerous other companies have emerged and several facilities have begun producing. As predicted in previous market reports, growth in cellulosic ethanol continues at a slower pace, while drop-in capacity is increasing. There is significant potential in the conversion of existing corn ethanol facilities to produce cellulosic ethanol, as well as increased deployment of modular technologies to reduce carbon intensities at active ethanol plants.
