Biofuels are the renewable and sustainable source of fuels which are mainly formed by waste plant and animal matter. Biofuel enzymes are biological catalysts which alter and speed up the ongoing reactions and increases productivity, performance and environmental gains in the biofuels. Biofuel enzymes serve various applications in biodiesel, lignocellulose ethanol, corn/starch based ethanol and others.
Biofuel enzymes increase specificity and efficiency of products. Growing environmental concerns and increased government policies to form legislations for blending of biofuel have turned to be the prime driver in broadening the market for biofuel enzymes. In addition, this market is driven by growth in end application markets i.e. growing consumption of biodiesel and bio-based ethanol which has helped in reduction in the cost of fuel and carbon dioxide emissions. Many sectors such as transport, power, chemical, domestic, agriculture have started utilizing these biofuel enzymes in their production line thus leading to the growth in market of the biological enzymes.
