Peak oil — the point at which global petroleum production maxes out and begins to fall — is expected to arrive in the next 10 to 30 years. Some experts argue that peak oil has already hit.

So is this the last chance for gas?

It could be. But if it is the end for petroleum, it’s just the beginning for the various biofuels in the running to replace it.

The biofuels market is exploding, with both early-stage innovation and investment growing at an unprecedented rate. Innovation Pipeline’s Biofuels Unlocked report will get you up to speed.

The report examines strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for leading biofuels startups, including Agrividia, Algatechnologies, Amyris, GreenFuel, GS AgriFuels, Iogen, LiveFuels and Mascoma.

The report also examines public-company biofuels research and development and assesses its impact on the market. The public companies covered in this report include: Archer Daniels Midland, DuPont, Dyadic International, Energy Conversion Devices, Monsanto, Pacific Ethanol, SunOpta, U.S. BioEnergy and Verenium.

You’ll also find a list of key biofuels patents owned by universities and eight snapshots of emerging biofuels start ups. On a broad scale, the report examines the terrain of emerging innovation, examining projects and spinoffs from leading university research institutions such as MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, UC Berkeley, UC Davis and the University of Toronto.

The report includes several pages of data metrics covering the current and projected biofuels market. The metrics section includes data related to ethanol production, biodiesel, cellulosic ethanol and econometrics related to oil prices driving demand for biofuels.

We realize there’s a great deal of free information available on the web about biofuels. What makes this report different is that it looks at the very early drivers in the market, developments taking place within corporate and university research labs that will impact the market for the next few years.
