Research and Markets: Get Beyond the Hype in Algae Biofuel

DUBLIN--Research and Markets November 11, 2011: has announced the addition of the "Get Beyond the Hype in Algae Biofuel" report to their offering.

“Get Beyond the Hype in Algae Biofuel”

Emerging Tech Insights (ETI) has constructed Get Beyond the Hype in Algae Biofuel with Technology Mapping in order to answer several key questions:

• What is happening in algae biodiesel or algae biofuel technology development?
• What new players have entered in the last 12 month? What are they doing?
• What are the technological barriers? What solutions can we see now?
• What companies or organizations or universities could be combined to accelerate the algae biofuel or algae biodiesel area?

The answers are ready. Some answers are surprises. If you are an investor, manager or product developer, buy the report today for a uniquely clear perspective on algae biofuel or algae biodiesel.

What did ETI find? Based on its analysis, algae biofuel or biodiesel does appear to be poised to disrupt the liquid fuel business. Commercial sales are quietly beginning in "specialty" markets. ETI's analysis of the technology landscape shows that there are few technological barriers. For most process steps, well characterized methods can be drawn from a parallel industry. Only large-scale culture systems need further standardization to enable a large-scale algae biofuel industry to break out, and even here a limited number of well defined options exist.

ETI's analysis clearly shows the adjacent markets that can serve (and are already serving) as outlets for algae biofuel "waste" products, reducing scrap costs. Adjacent markets can also serve to finance biofuel market development.

When (if) an algae biofuel industry breaks out, Emerging Tech INSIGHTS believes that existing smaller players will begin to consolidate and our cutting-edge models suggest combinations of companies where intellectual property enhancements might exist.

When (if) a large scale algae biofuel industry does break out, Emerging Tech INSIGHTS believes that winners will include the equipment and chemical suppliers for "standardized" ponds and bioreactors, new aqua culture farmers, suppliers of extraction equipment and chemicals, certain real estate holders and the investors who made it all happen.
