Biofuels
Strategic Role of Biofuels in Latin America
Biofuels are at the center of Latin America’s renewable energy transition, offering cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels while strengthening energy security and rural development. Derived from biomass, sugarcane, maize, soy, and other agricultural feedstocks, biofuels reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support circular economy models. Latin America stands out globally as one of the most advanced regions in biofuel production and usage.
In 2024, the biofuels market in Latin America was valued at 23 billion USD, and it is expected to surpass 38 billion USD by 2030, growing at an 8.8% CAGR. This expansion is supported by government blending mandates, corporate ESG commitments, and investments in second-generation biofuels.
