How have varous drivers impacted the growth of the n-butanol market?
The growing demand for sustainable fuel is expected to propel the growth of the n-butanol market going forward. Sustainable fuel refers to energy sources that are renewable, low-carbon, and environmentally friendly, aiming to reduce reliance on finite fossil fuels and mitigate climate change. The growing demand for sustainable fuel is due to increasing awareness of climate change, stricter environmental regulations, advancements in renewable energy technologies, and the pursuit of energy security and independence. n-butanol is beneficial as a sustainable fuel because it can be produced from renewable biomass, offers higher energy content and lower emissions than ethanol, and is compatible with existing gasoline engines. For instance, in May 2023, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, investments in clean energy on a global scale experienced a notable upsurge from $1,408 billion in 2021 to $1,740 billion in 2023, which unequivocally demonstrates the growing commitment towards environmentally sustainable practices. Therefore, the growing demand for sustainable fuel drives the n-butanol market.
