Advanced Biofuels

Advanced biofuels are increasingly in the news and companies that operate in these environments are interested in finding leaders who are effective on the job from “day one” – effective leadership without on-the-job training or hindersome learning curves.

Transportation represents the largest end-use of energy by sector in the U.S. and studies have shown that advanced biofuels would be an ideal alternative to petroleum-based fuels if a cost-effective means of commercial production can be developed. Advanced biofuels, as defined by the Energy Independence and Security Act, are renewable fuels—other than ethanol derived from corn starch—with at least 50% less lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions than the fossil fuels they replace.

With growing demand, increased sustainability awareness and the availability of venture capital, this industry is poised for further growth.
