Biofuel-burning Microturbine The biomass feedstock necessary for biofuels production, taking into account only species with commercial potential: Liquid biofuel market Currently only bioethanol and biodiesel are applied on a commercial scale. The global biofuels production is estimated at about 15 million tons per year and Europe has still a small share, about 6% of the total production. Most of the global production consists of bioethanol. The main producers are USA and Brazil, while Europe is the most important producer of biodiesel. Ethanol is, since short, quoted at the world commodity market. Biofuels production is increasing. Biodiesel production increased from 80.000 tons in 1993 to 860.000 tons in 2001 (by eleven times), bioethanol production for automotive fuel application has grown by a factor three, passing from 47.500 tons in 1993 to 136.000 tons in 2001. The countries producing the largest amounts of biodiesel are Germany (46%), France (40%), Italy (10%) and Austria (4%), while countries producing the largest amounts of bioethanol are France (42%), Spain (37%) and Sweden (21%). The following table shows the trend for biofuels production for primary energy in Europe. The first producer (for primary energy utilization) is Germany (500.000 tons in 2001), followed by France (389.000 tons in 2001) and Spain (80.000 tons in 2001).

Source: IEA Statistics 2003 Current production costs of liquid biofuels depend on the used biomass prices and on the size (investment costs are higher for smaller plants) and type of production plant. For example the average production costs of bioethanol in Germany are 0,56 Euro/l for a 500.000 hl plant and 0,5 Euro/l for a 2.000.000 hl plant, if the used feedstock is wheat or sugar beet. -8-PDF Image | Biofuel-burning Microturbine Opportunities for Biofuel-burning Microturbines in the European Decentralised-generation Market (BIOTURBINE)
