The global Biofuel market was valued at US$141.56 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to reach US$245.48 billion in 2027. The outlook for the biofuels industry and US biofuel stocks is positive.
Biofuels are experiencing a rise in demand as government mandates push for greener automotive fuel blends. In mid-2021, the US Department of Energy announced close to US$34 million in funding for research and development projects aimed at improving and producing biofuels, biopower and bioproducts. Showing governments aren’t only creating laws, but also investing in the growth of this market.
There are several biofuel investments to consider, here are a few you should start researching today:
Viking Energy Group Inc. (OTCMKTS :VKIN) is an intriguing way to play this growing demand for biofuel. The company has a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement in place to acquire a Renewable diesel production facility in the corporate tax-free city of Reno, Nevada. The facility is capable of producing 43 million gallons per year, according to estimates. VKIN’s biofuel could net larger margins than average biofuel producers because there is a pretreatment center at the facility allowing the company to purchase pure feedstock rather than the pricy pre-treated feedstock many companies use in the production process. With terms of this agreement set to close soon, VKIN should be on your radar today.
