Second generation biofuel

Second generation biofuels are taking a step further in the transition to cleaner energy. First-generation biofuels are made from food crops, while second generation biofuels are derived from agricultural residues, non-food biomass, or waste products like used cooking oil or coffee waste. That means no competition with food supply chains and a significantly lower environmental impact.

Nedstar is at the forefront of providing forward-thinking energy solutions that not only meet today’s demands but also anticipate the challenges of tomorrow. Whether you're developing sustainable aviation biofuels, second generation biodiesel, or another ground-breaking alternative to traditional fossil fuel, our responsibly sourced ethanol helps you drive the future.

The future of second generation biofuels

As governments and industries step up their climate commitments, the role of advanced biofuels continues to grow. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global capacity for advanced biofuels is expected to nearly triple by 2030. Policies such as the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) and the US Renewable Fuel Standard are creating strong incentives for second generation alternatives.
