IEA：生物燃料投资比例待提振

Group 1 - The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that global investment in low-emission fuels is experiencing historic growth, yet biofuels still represent a small fraction of overall energy investment, projected to reach $16 billion by 2025, accounting for about 3% of total global energy investment this year [1] - The U.S. and Brazil dominate the liquid biofuel market, with the U.S. being a growth center for Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), expected to contribute half of the projected 40% increase in global HVO and SAF production to 800,000 barrels per day by 2025 [1] - Brazil's biofuel investment is expected to grow to approximately $3 billion by 2025, driven by the recently passed Future Fuels Law, which could release an average of $4 billion in investments annually over the next decade [1] Group 2 - Europe leads in overall clean energy spending but focuses more on biogas rather than liquid biofuels, accounting for 60% of global biogas investment while lagging behind the U.S., China, and Brazil in biodiesel and ethanol investments [2] - European refineries are transitioning to produce biofuels or integrating carbon capture and storage technologies to meet stricter emission targets, as several refineries are closing due to declining oil demand [2] - The shipping sector's biofuel prospects are boosted by new carbon reduction rules set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2025, which are expected to increase demand for low-emission fuels, although large-scale transformation projects face complexities such as rising material costs and labor shortages [2]
