The pulp and paper industry in Europe is the largest industrial sector using biomass as fuel, and now key players are realising the potential to produce biofuels profitably for other industries and applications. The Future of Biofuels: Opportunities for Pulp and Paper Suppliers examines the biofuel market opportunities opening up to pulp and paper manaufacturers and will assess the suitability of biofuel production for different types of biomass and production processes. The global market for biofuels is quantified and forecast, broken down by end use application for all types of biofuels which the pulp and paper industry has the potential to produce.
