簡介目錄

2022年藻類生質燃料市場價值為60.66億美元，預計複合年成長率為9.08%，到2029年市場規模將達到111.52億美元。

藻類生質能可轉化為生質柴油、生質乙醇、沼氣等多種燃料，生產藻類生質燃料，是一種很有前景的再生能源來源。與傳統石化燃料相比，藻類生質燃料被認為是碳中立的。這是因為藻類生長過程中吸收的二氧化碳與燃燒後釋放的二氧化碳平衡。因此，藻類生質燃料是減少溫室氣體排放和減輕氣候變遷影響的理想替代燃料。

藻類生質燃料的巨大生產潛力是其主要優勢之一。與玉米和大豆等傳統生質燃料作物相比，藻類更能經濟地利用土地和資源。此外，藻類可以在非耕地土壤或污水中生長，從而減少淡水供應的壓力並與糧食生產競爭。

市場趨勢：

推動成長的主要因素是對藻類生質燃料作為重要能源來源的需求。汽油和柴油價格的上漲增加了對藻類生質燃料的需求。此外，綠色生活方式的日益成長趨勢正在推動對藻類生質燃料的需求，因為它們更健康並且對環境造成的危害較小或沒有危害。因此，所有生質燃料都被稱為石油和其他對環境有害的燃料的替代品。

藻類生質燃料的產量有可能是其他傳統生質燃料（如高粱、甜菜、玉米和玉米秸稈）的 20 倍。藻類生質燃料的這項特性有可能在預測期內為工業成長開闢新的途徑。

市場促進因素：

擴大各個最終用戶行業的應用預計將推動市場成長。

藻類生質燃料在汽車、運輸、航太和國防工業有應用。它已成為第二代作物生質燃料的最佳第三代替代品。隨著藻類生質燃料研究和開發的進展，其生產變得更加經濟和可行，並有可能在許多領域中得到應用。

此外，隨著藻類生質燃料在過去十年中越來越受歡迎，許多工業部門已經開始商業性使用藻類生質燃料。藻類生質燃料可用於熱電聯產和熱解油生產。藻類生質燃料也適合運輸，因為它們直接取代石油而不改變引擎性能。

藻類生質燃料生產的便利性預計將對市場成長產生正面影響。

由於光是藻類培育所需的主要因素，投資者有興趣投資要求相對較低的藻類生質燃料的生產。此外，由於藻類生質燃料是石油和柴油的有競爭力的替代品，未來其利用率將顯著提高，使藻類生質燃料成為一項有利可圖的投資。擁有大量水域的國家也更喜歡生產藻類生質燃料。

儘管有多種培養基可用於提高藻類生物量產量，但兩種最濃縮的培養基是 Gillard's F/2 和 Walne's 培養基。這些介質減少了準備藻類生長所需的營養素所需的時間。此外，營養解決方案的多樣性、生存能力、投資者回報，最重要的是，藻類生質燃料在消費者中的日益普及正在推動全球對藻類生質燃料的需求不斷成長。

市場限制因素：

藻類生質燃料市場存在重大限制，阻礙了其廣泛採用和成長。主要障礙之一是與種植、收穫和將藻類轉化為生生質燃料相關的高生產成本。藻類的成功生長需要特殊的環境，包括合適的溫度、營養物質的供應和供水，所有這些都會增加生產成本。此外，大規模藻類培育和收穫技術仍在開發中，導致效率低下和營運成本高。

藻類生質燃料生產的可擴展性低也是一個限制。與玉米和大豆等傳統生質燃料作物相比，藻類具有提高每英畝產量的潛力。儘管如此，確保規模穩定生產仍然是主要的技術障礙。用於生質燃料提取的藻類生質能的穩定有效生產可能會受到污染、菌株異質性和環境波動等問題的阻礙。

為了充分發揮藻類生質燃料作為傳統石化燃料的永續替代品的潛力，需要解決這些限制，這需要包括立法者、研究人員和商界領袖在內的各種利益相關人員的共同努力。這些努力還必須包括克服技術、財務和監管障礙。

預計北美將成為主要區域市場。

北美藻類生質燃料產業的顯著擴張有幾個重要原因。例如，對氣候變遷的日益關注以及盡量減少溫室氣體排放的需求正在推動人們對再生能源來源的興趣。藻類生質燃料是石化燃料的潛在替代品，因為它們可以在生產過程中捕獲二氧化碳，並且在用作運輸燃料時有可能顯著減少碳排放。

此外，藻類生質燃料的適應性超出了運輸燃料的範圍，可用於多個行業，包括工業活動、航空和海上運輸。這種適應性增加了市場吸引力和大規模採用的潛力。藻類產品的適應性、技術改進、支持性法規和環境友善性都有助於北美藻類生質燃料業務的成長，使其成為可行且永續的替代方案。

主要進展：

2023 年 3 月，業界領先的藻類生質燃料營運商 Viridos, Inc. 宣布獲得 2,500 萬美元的 A 輪股權投資，致力於生產從藻類中提取的低碳、永續噴射機燃料燃料和柴油燃料。 United Airlines Ventures 和 Chevron 美國以及 Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV) 是 A 輪融資的主要投資者。

Algal biomass is converted into a variety of fuels, such as biodiesel, bioethanol, and biogas, to produce algal biofuels, which are a promising renewable energy source. Algal biofuels are regarded as carbon-neutral, in contrast to conventional fossil fuels, since the CO2 absorbed during the development of the algae balances the CO2 released after burning. This makes them a desirable alternative for lowering greenhouse gas emissions and decreasing the effects of climate change.

The great production potential of algal biofuels is one of its main benefits. Algae are a more economical use of land and resources than traditional biofuel crops like maize or soybeans because they can generate far more biomass per acre. Furthermore, algae may be grown on non-arable soil and wastewater, which lessens the burden on freshwater supplies and lessens rivalry with food production.

MARKET TRENDS:

The key factor driving the growth is the demand for algae biofuel as an essential energy source. Owing to the rising prices of petrol and diesel, the demand for algae biofuel has increased. Moreover, increasing inclination towards eco-friendly lifestyles owing to their health benefits and fewer or no environmental hazards is boosting the demand for algae biofuel. As a result, all biofuels are referred to as a replacement for oil or another environmentally hazardous fuel.

Algae biofuel has the potential to provide around 20 times the output of other conventional biofuels like sorghum, beet, corn, and corn stover. This feature of algae biofuel has the potential to open new pathways for industrial growth during the forecast period.

MARKET DRIVERS:

Growth in applications in various end-user industries is anticipated to drive the market's growth.

Algae biofuel has applications in the automotive, transportation, aerospace, and defense industries. It has come up as the best third-generation alternative to the second-generation crop-based biofuel. Increasing research and developments in algae biofuel are making it more applicable in many sectors and making its production more economical and viable.

Many industrial sectors have also started using algae biofuel commercially due to its increasing popularity in the last decade. Algae biofuel can be used to generate combined heat and power or can be used for pyrolysis oil. Algae biofuel is also preferred in transportation because it directly replaces petroleum without any changes in engine performance.

The convenience of producing algae biofuel is predicted to positively impact market growth.

As light is the prime factor needed for the cultivation of algae, investors are more interested in investing in the production of algae biofuel as the requirements are comparatively lower. Additionally, as algae biofuel is a competitive alternative to petroleum and diesel, its utilization will rise at substantial rates in the future, making algae biofuel a profitable investment. Countries that have huge waterbodies also prefer the production of algae biofuel.

Although the use of a few mediums can accelerate the production of algae biomass, the two most enriching mediums are Guillard's F/2 and Walne medium. These mediums reduce the time required for the preparation of the nutrients that are needed to grow algae. Furthermore, various nutritive solutions, viability, profit to the investors, and most importantly, increasing popularity among the consumers for algae biofuel are all contributing to the rising demand for algae biofuel globally.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

The algal biofuel market is severely constrained, which prevents it from being widely adopted and from growing. The high cost of manufacturing involved in growing, collecting, and turning algae into biofuel is one of the main obstacles. Algae need particular circumstances to develop well, including the right temperature, the availability of nutrients, and access to water supplies, all of which can increase production costs. Furthermore, large-scale algae cultivation and harvesting technology is still developing, which results in inefficiencies and higher operating expenses.

The low scalability of algae biofuel manufacturing is another constraint. As opposed to conventional biofuel crops like maize or soybeans, algae have the potential for higher yields per acre; nevertheless, ensuring consistent production at scale remains a considerable technical barrier. The consistent and effective production of algal biomass for the extraction of biofuel can be hampered by problems such as contamination, strain heterogeneity, and environmental volatility.

The full potential of algae biofuels as a sustainable substitute for traditional fossil fuels must be unlocked by addressing these constraints, which call for coordinated efforts from a variety of stakeholders, including legislators, researchers, and business leaders. These efforts must also include overcoming technical, financial, and regulatory obstacles.

North America is anticipated to be the major regional market.

Several important reasons are driving the noteworthy expansion of the algal biofuel industry in North America. For instance, there is a greater interest in renewable energy sources due to rising concerns about climate change and the need to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. Since it can trap carbon dioxide during production and has the potential to drastically lower overall carbon emissions when utilized as a transportation fuel, algae biofuel offers a possible substitute for fossil fuels.

Furthermore, algal biofuel's adaptability goes beyond fuels for transportation; it has potential uses in several industries, including industrial operations, aviation, and maritime transportation. This adaptability raises the market's appeal and chances of mass adoption. Algae-based products' adaptability, technical improvements, supporting regulations, and environmental concerns all contribute to the growth of the North American algae biofuel business, which presents itself as a viable and sustainable substitute.

Key Developments:

In March 2023, Viridos, Inc., the industry-leading algal biofuel business committed to producing low-carbon, sustainable jet and diesel fuel derived from algae, announced that it has secured a $25 million Series A equity investment. United Airlines Ventures and Chevron U.S.A. Inc. joined Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV) as lead investors in Series A. The money will go into R&D to boost algal oil productivity even further until it reaches levels that can be used for commercial purposes.
