Dedalus Consulting has produced the most comprehensive biofuels and co-products market intelligence available today. Breaking down the global market regionally, highlighting over 25 countries, this analysis covers the complete value chain from feedstocks through primary fuels to high-value co-products. Data is presented in value ($mm), volume (kg), and average selling price by both production and consumption.

Whether you're targeting primary biofuel markets or high-value co-products like biochar, glycerin, or distillers grains, this report provides the complete market intelligence you need. Understand production economics, feedstock competition, end-user demand, and competitive landscape across the entire value chain. No other report offers this level of integration between primary fuels and co-product markets.

On the consumption side, users will be able to research each end-user industry by fuel type and co-product application. Expanded coverage within the Ulysses™ platform includes additional end-user industry breakdowns, carbon intensity metrics, co-product revenue optimization analysis, and pivot table capabilities.

Data and analysis for equipment markets is available for the years 2024 to 2031. Energy consumption levels and carbon impact assessments are forecasted to 2040.
