Advanced Biofuels Market Global Report 2026

The advanced biofuels market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $19.18 billion in 2025 to $20.89 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to biofuel blending mandates, volatility in fossil fuel prices, climate policy initiatives, availability of agricultural residues, and early investments in biofuels.

The advanced biofuels market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $28.96 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to net-zero commitments, airline decarbonization targets, investments in advanced refineries, carbon credit markets, and growing demand for low-carbon fuels. Major trends in the forecast period include the utilization of non-food feedstocks, the scaling of sustainable aviation fuels, the commercialization of second-generation biofuels, advancements in conversion technologies, and carbon intensity reduction strategies.

The expanding aerospace industry is expected to drive the growth of the advanced biofuels market going forward. The aerospace industry refers to the broad and complex sector involved in designing and manufacturing aircraft, launching satellites, and conducting space exploration. The growth of the aerospace industry is fueled by rising global air travel demand and increasing space exploration initiatives. Advanced biofuels, by providing sustainable, high-energy, and low-carbon alternatives to conventional jet fuels, directly support the expanding aerospace industry by helping airlines and manufacturers comply with stringent environmental regulations, lower greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen energy security, and promote innovation in next-generation aircraft technologies. For instance, in June 2023, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a Canada-based international trade organization, global airline net profit was expected to reach $9.8 billion in 2023, compared with $4.7 billion in 2022, while approximately 4.35 billion passengers were expected to travel in 2023. Therefore, the expanding aerospace industry is expected to drive the growth of the advanced biofuels market.

Major companies operating in the advanced biofuels market are concentrating on developing technological innovations, such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) process technology, to strengthen their competitive position in the market. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) technology includes a range of processes and methods used to produce alternative jet fuel from non-petroleum-based, renewable sources. For instance, in September 2023, Lummus Technology LLC, a US-based provider of proprietary petrochemical, refining, and gasification technologies, launched Ethanol-based SAF Technology. The technology provides a safe, reliable, and large-scale solution for producing SAF from a readily available and renewable source, ethanol. SAF offers significant greenhouse gas reductions, potentially reaching 80%, depending on the specific ethanol source and production process.

In August 2025, Licella Holdings Limited, an Australia-based provider of advanced bioenergy and biorefining technologies specializing in converting biomass into renewable fuels and chemicals, acquired Arbios Biotech for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Licella aimed to accelerate the global commercialization of its proprietary hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) technology by fully integrating Arbios’ operational capabilities and enhancing its position in the renewable fuels and sustainable chemicals market. Arbios Biotech is a Canada-based provider of biomass conversion and biorefinery development solutions, specializing in producing low-carbon fuels and biochemicals from renewable feedstocks.
