Reportlinker.com has unveiled a new market research report in its catalogue.
Sustainable power generation from alternative energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass is seeing increasing demand, triggered by concerns on energy adequacy, unpredictable oil prices, and global warming. The expanded pace of economic growth and the threatening rate of global population growth have driven the demand for various energy forms.
To meet this rising demand, countries are looking for a wider range of cost effective and eco-friendly renewable resources including biogas, wind and biomass. Of the various sources, biomass has emerged as one of the vital and feasible renewable energy sources.
The competitiveness of biomass resources has been enhanced by the price volatility characteristic of fossil fuels. The reduced cost of bioenergy and biomass systems and the initiation of emission trading have driven the need for producing, adopting and selling biomass, consumption and trading.
Governmental support in the form of new policies covering bio-based power, aimed at supply security and maintaining minimal pollution, has further encouraged the development of the bioenergy sector. A combination of the increasing complexities of waste disposal and the availability of cost effective power generation technologies is expected to enhance the potential for generating energy from biomass and waste materials in the future. On the other hand, the higher magnitude of maintenance expenditure, capital investment and operational obstacles, and concerns over the availability of raw materials are some challenges faced by the biomass suppliers.
The new report from Reportlinker.com is entitled "Biomass, Biomass and Waste-to-Energy: Worldwide Market Challenges & Opportunities" and published by BizAcumen LLC. The report discusses all the abovementioned factors as well as other trends and information on the market. The report includes an outline on the research methodology, the quantitative techniques and reporting methods; overview of the worldwide market for biomass, including resources, users and environmental issues; overall market trends and challenges; description of products and production facilities; industry developments; profiles of major players; and quantitative information on biomass feedstock, competitor dynamics and market outlook across major countries.
