The Asia-Pacific region will see the strongest growth in the use of ethanol and biodiesel by 2018, according to a report by London-based analyst Frost & Sullivan.
The report projects revenue generated by the automotive biofuels market to reach $149.25 billion globally by 2018 up from the $94.61 billion in revenue generated in 2013. The report only looked at ethanol and biodiesel among biofuels. The U.S. will remain the primary producer of ethanol followed by Brazil and China, according to the report.
