Biofuels are derived from biomass and are a renewable form of bioenergy. With the use of advanced technologies, biofuels are extracted in solid (fuel wood, charcoal, and wood pellets), liquid (bioethanol and biodiesel), and gaseous (biogas) forms. Liquid biofuels are utilized as transportation fuels by blending them with fossil fuels at suitable proportions of 5% or 10% by volume. The solid biofuels are used for generating heat and electricity in thermal or waste to energy plants.

In the year 2010, around 107 billion liters of biofuels was produced worldwide. The report covers liquid biofuels market in Top & Emerging countries like Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, France, India, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, and U.S. The biofuels (bioethanol and biodiesel) production in top and emerging countries is expected to grow from 102,896 million liters in 2011 to 150,975 million liters in 2016 at CAGR of 8% for the same period. The markets representing high growth rate are Sweden (32.2%), Colombia (24.4%), India (19.7%), and Thailand (16.3%).
