Second
generation biofuels or advanced biofuels are the way forward from the
first generation biofuels, which is made from vegetable oils and
sugar. The only differentiating factor between first generation
biofuels and second generation biofuels is the feedstock. Second
generation biofuels are manufactured from various types of biomass.
Biomass is mainly derived from plant sources. However, second
generation biofuels can also be manufactured from animal derived
biomass. First generation biofuels were dependent on food crops and
production of adequate bio fuel was a challenge, as it competed with
food supply. Moreover, greenhouse emissions of first generation
biofuels were nominally less than that of fossil fuels. Dependence on
food crops also rendered it a costly alternative to conventional
petroleum leading to limited acceptance. Second generation biofuels
are capable of overcoming these handicaps and produce significantly
higher quantities of biofuels with higher environmental benefits and
lower cost. The different thermo-chemical technologies currently in
use or under development are gasification, pyrolysis and
torrefaction.

The
market for second generation bio fuel is driven by the need to
produce clean and sustainable energy, with minimal environmental
impact. Second generation bio fuel manufacturing technology enables
production of commercially acceptable fuel from inedible biomass and
avoid the “food vs fuel” dilemma. The main feedstocks used for
second generation biofuels are agricultural and non food crop
residues, wastes procured from forestry industry, energy crops,
jatropha and algae. Feedstock cost accounts for over 50% of the
product cost, and cheap availability of the feedstocks lead to
cheaper product. Second generation biofuels are yet to achieve large
scale commercialization and is expected to become cheaper over time
with the development of technology. Some types of second generation
biofuels are in production as of today. However, large scale
commercialization is not expected to come in force until 2020,
without government support. Second generation biofuels have
tremendous future opportunities as automotive and aviation fuel. In
recent years, biofuels have established their importance among
various other fuels. With rising oil prices and mounting concerns
over energy security, focus has shifted to renewable sources of
energy. Biofuels, with ability to fuel transport sector with low
carbon emission as compared to conventional fuels, have attracted
investments from various large market players. Production of second
generation biofuels is attractive for countries with no petroleum
reserves as it helps to reduce foreign exchange spending towards
import of petroleum.
There
are no apparent restraints to the market apart from technology
development and feedstock procurement. However, the highly volatile
crude oil prices in the global market might reduce the market
attractiveness for the second generation biofuels market. With crude
oil prices plunging by more than 50% in a year, cost competitiveness
is a factor for the market.

North
America is the largest producer of second generation biofuels, with
high investments in research and development. Europe is the second
most attractive market in terms of demand for biofuels. However, Asia
Pacific with its enormous resource is gradually catching up with a
few Chinese companies investing in the futuristic market. Global laws
regarding recution of greenhouse gasses and production of clean
energy is expected to drive the market with governments in North
America and Europe providing incentive to the second generation
biofuels manufacturers.
Some
of the major companies producing second generation biofuels are Blue
Marble Biomaterials LLC, Algenol, Chemrec, DuPont Danisco Cellulosic
Ethanol LLC, Fujian Zhongde Energy Co., Ltd, Gevo,Inc., Gushan
Environmental Energy Ltd., PetroSun, Inc., Sapphire Energy and
Solazyme, Inc.
