Ethanol that is produced by converting sugar in cellulose is particularly known as cellulosic ethanol. It is produced from lignocellulose available in cellulosic materials such as wood and grass. Ethanol is the most commonly commended alternative or additive for gasoline and is produced through the fermentation process of cellulosic feedstock. It is also gaining much attention because its feedstock can be grown anywhere and also can be sourced from agricultural waste residues. It provides a greener alternative to corn ethanol along with using feedstock that does not take advantage of food meant for human consumption.

The analysts forecast the Global Cellulosic Ethanol market to grow at a CAGR of 53.3 percent over the period 2013-2018.

In terms of feedstock, the Global Cellulosic Ethanol market can be segmented into four: Agricultural Residue, Forest Residue, Energy Crops, and Organic Municipal Solid Waste (MSW).

The report, the Global Cellulosic Ethanol Market 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, and the APAC and EMEA regions; it also covers the Global Cellulosic Ethanol market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

One of the key trends in this market is the benefits that smaller companies are gaining from the research activities of major companies. Smaller companies do not have to rework initial technology set-ups and can learn from the research results of big companies.

According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is increased government support. Governments in many countries such as the US and Brazil are supporting manufacturing companies to boost cellulosic ethanol production. Other countries such as Italy, Germany, and China are gradually formulating supportive policies that are expected to boost the market.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the high overall cost of production. The technology is in its initial stages so the overall costs are much too high, but with advances in technology, the costs are expected to decrease.
