Frost & Sullivan will host an exclusive interactive briefing on February 1, 2007, at 3 p.m. GMT, to provide biodiesel producers, agricultural bodies, technology providers, oil companies and related service companies with a detailed overview of the European Biodiesel Market.

As one of the fastest growing areas in the chemical industry, the speed at which the biodiesel market is expanding presents its own problems and challenges. During this briefing, Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Speciality Chemicals, Robert Outram, will explain how overcapacity in the market and supplying feedstock at a reasonable price could become major concerns in the future.  

"The interest from financial organisations to invest in the biofuels industry can be viewed with great similarity to the dot com bubble that burst at the turn of the century. Enthusiasm to investment in biofuels companies has caused overcapacity and problems with regard to feedstock supply," observes Mr. Outram. He believes it unlikely that all plants currently in operation or in the process of being built will enjoy the profits made by the plants of yesteryear.

Highlights of the informative briefing include market sizing analysis, supply and demand balance assessment, feedstock availability and likely future trends.
