Sustainable Biofuels & E-Fuels Market 2025-2035: Technologies, Players, Forecasts

Conventional first-generation biofuels, such as bioethanol and biodiesel, have seen rapid commercialization. However, many countries are now transitioning toward more advanced biofuels due to competition with food production, lifecycle emissions and land use change concerns. Advanced sustainable fuels can be produced from non-food feedstocks, including second, third, and fourth-generation biofuels, as well as e-fuels derived from renewable electricity, green hydrogen, and captured CO2. These synthetic fuels are designed to seamlessly integrate with existing internal combustion engines and global fuel infrastructure. In this report, IDTechEx provides an in-depth analysis of advanced biofuels (second generation and beyond) and e-fuels. The analysis covers production processes, relevant policies, key technological innovations, technology providers, and project developers. It also explores the techno-economic challenges and opportunities in the sector. The report focuses on key fuels such as renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and renewable methanol, among others. Detailed market forecasts are provided, broken down by production regions (Europe, North America, South America, and APAC) and technological pathways (e.g., HEFA/HVO, gasification-FT, and power-to-liquids/e-fuels) for renewable diesel, SAF, and renewable methanol.
