by Renewable bio jet fuel is a drop-in replacement for conventional jet fuel produced from biomass feedstocks such as algal oil, agricultural residues, forest residues, and municipal solid wastes. It has similar physical and chemical properties as conventional jet fuel with significant carbon reduction benefits. Air travel continues to grow year-on-year with increased passenger demand. However, aviation emissions contribute significantly to environmental pollution. Bio jet fuel provides an opportunity to reduce emissions from growing air transport activities.
The global Renewable Bio Jet Fuel Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 299.4 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.4% over the forecast period 2024-2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the Global renewable bio jet fuel market size is the increased research on algae as a biomass feedstock. Algae can produce high oil content suitable for Jet A fuel production and has the potential for large-scale production with less land and freshwater use as compared to other energy crops such as corn, soy or palm. Companies are exploring genetically engineered algal strains with extremely high oil content and jet fuel compatibility to commercialize algae-based bio jet fuel production. Improvements in algal cultivation and processing technologies can help reduce the cost of algal bio jet fuel and aid in its market development.
Porter’s Analysis
Threat of new entrants: The renewable bio jet fuel market requires significant investment in R&D and production facilities, lowering the threat of new entrants.
Bargaining power of buyers: Airlines have considerable purchasing power due to the oligopolistic nature of the industry. However, growing environmental concerns are increasing demand for sustainable fuel options.
Bargaining power of suppliers: A small number of oil producers dominate the supply of conventional jet fuel. Alternative fuel producers face pressure to prove the technical and economic viability of renewable bio jet fuels.
Threat of new substitutes: Electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft pose a long-term threat but are not commercially viable substitutes for conventional jet fuel in the near future due to technical hurdles.
Competitive rivalry: Major industry players are collaborating to develop sustainable aviation fuel standards and production methods, mitigating direct competition in the emerging market segment.
