Bioethanol Versus Biodiesel - The Tortoise and the Hare?

LONDON, May 10 /PRNewswire/ --     The Chemicals, Materials & Food Group at Frost & Sullivan ispleased to announce an exclusive 2007 quarterly webinar on Thursday, May 16,2007 at 3:00 p.m. BST titled "Bioethanol - A Slower Growing but moreSustainable Biofuel Market".
    As the biodiesel market reaches overcapacity, and producersstruggle due to pressure on feedstock prices, investment focus is beginningto turn to the relatively undeveloped bioethanol market. Feedstocks forbioethanol production are much more diverse and higher yielding than theoilseed crops required for biodiesel production; thus bioethanol could be abetter solution and investment to address Europe's energy needs.
    Highlights of the briefing include a technical overview ofbioethanol production, analysis of production capacities and demand,feedstock availability, current market trends and a supply chain analysis.
"The bioethanol market supports many facets of the EUeconomy; sugar companies, wheat and sugar beet farmers and wine producers allbenefit from the growing bioethanol industry," states Industry Analyst RobertOutram. "Due to this support for EU agriculture and failing markets,government legislation is likely to be favorable to the bioethanol industryin coming years."
