The US is the biggest players in the global biofuel industry. Ethanol production currently dominates the US biofuel industry but it established the strong base at the end of 2006, said, “US Biofuel Market Analysis”, a new research report from RNCOS.
The US biofuel industry primarily depends on corn and soybean oil for the production of biofuel, but the usage structure of both the feedstock is indicating to the feedstock shortage in future. Thus, the rising concerns for food and fuel shortage will boost up the cellulosic ethanol production in the US.
According to a Senior Research Analyst at RNCOS, most of the ethanol in the US is produced from corn. But this crop is a poor feedstock due to low yield and high fertilizer requirements which are linked to water pollution. High amount of greenhouse gases emission and expanded “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico are other environmental concerns arising from the cultivation of corn.
Considering the shortcomings of using corn for energy production, RNCOS Analyst believes that the “next generation“ biofuels will be produced from cellulose in woody grass, trees and agriculture waste, but they will also pose environmental concerns.
Giving the current market scenario, the US government is increasingly allocating funds and enacting legislation to boost up the feedstock diversification and production. In 2008, the government passed a bill to provide US$ One Billion fund for new feedstock production and renewable energy programs. We believe that the cellulosic ethanol will grow at a CAGR of nearly 87% by the end of crop year 2017.
“US Biofuel Market Analysis” provides detailed information on the prevailing market trends in the US biodiesel industry. The report thoroughly evaluates the overall biodiesel industry, with segment-wise discussion on biodiesel and ethanol. It also studies the major driving forces of the US biofuel industry and highlights high growth areas to enable clients understand the leading opportunities existing in the industry.

High Consumption Fuelling LNG Import in South Korea
|
|
|
Natural gas plays a vital role in South Korean energy market; in fact, in 2007, natural gas accounted for around 14% share in country’s total energy generation, meeting a substantial part of its rapidly growing energy demand, says “Global LNG Market - The Road Ahead”.
According to RNCOS analyst, “Despite the economic ups and downs, primary energy consumption is expected to grow at an average rate of around 3% during 2008-2012.” Apart from rising consumption, the need to create a pollution-free environment has prompted the country to focus on gas-fired power stations. Also, the country is likely to bring more gas-fired power plants online in near future to meet the power demand of domestic heavy and manufacturing industries that consume a large part of power. As natural gas has high calorific value and is a relatively cleaner source of energy, its demand is rolling in the domestic South Korean market, says the report.
However, the limited natural gas reserves have forced South Korea to import LNG from other countries to match its domestic requirements. In fact, domestic production contributes an insignificant share towards the country’s total natural gas consumption. And geographical positioning and non-friendly environment of South Korea with counterpart North Korea has limited the development of its natural gas pipeline with Russia. As a result, it has been importing natural gas in the liquid form since 1994.
“Global LNG Market - The Road Ahead” expects that South Korea’s LNG demand in 2010 for power generation and other domestic uses will be up by more than 32% over 2007 level.
Apart from South Korea, the report provides a detailed study on LNG markets of other countries too. It covers information on the LNG importing countries like Japan, China India, the US and France, and LNG exporting countries like Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Oman, the UAE and Qatar to understand the global LNG supply and demand market. It analyzes both present and future scenario of the LNG market, and features forecast on LNG demand, supply and production etc at country-level.

Blogertize.in - A low cost solution for budding bloggers worldwide
|
|
|
Blogging is the new baby of marketing; Advertising is the cost that one doesn’t want to bear to raise this baby. Blogging for dollars seems to be the latest craze to hit the Internet and that’s what inspired Dushyant Bhatia, a 23 year old internet entrepreneur from India to come up with www.blogertize.in. Blogertize, as the name suggests, is a platform for budding bloggers to advertise their blogs. Launched on Sep 01, 2008, the site is open for all the bloggers/forums worldiwide to rent pixel buttons for a 3 year period by paying a one time charge as low as $15. The website is categorized into 12 segments namely sports, technology, health, politics, finance, gaming, education, showbiz, travel, life, literature and social responsibility. All the pixel buttons in social responsibility can be booked by the NGOs and social service organization worldwide free of cost on first come first serve basis.
Blog marketing is powerful and effective but unlike big businesses/corporates, not all bloggers can afford to spend a huge chunk on advertisements. The truth is most bloggers don't have that kind of money to spend on marketing, so what can be done? Either wait for the traffic to grow organically, auction off advertising space on ebay, try different income streams like adsense, donations, text link ads etc. Search Engine Advertising is becoming more costly and media is getting very expensive and advertising for small/medium businesses and online hobbyists is not easy.
Blogertize seems to have found a simplified solution that caters to the needs of these leisure pursuits. The idea seems to have clicked given the fact that around 25-30 odd buttons worth $2,000+ covering almost all the segments have already been reserved within the first week following the company’s launch. The site is planning to launch its forum by the end of November which would not be limited to a particular topic/subject but would be a place where anything and everything could be discussed.
This one of a kind forum is likely to encourage the empowerment of its members by providing them with a rich access to information and resources. i.e. A member who’d like to keep himself/herself updated about the latest in the tech circuit could sign up for the monthly tech newsletter, the content of which will be provided by the bloggers advertising with the site. The link to the blog from where the content has been extracted would also be mentioned in the newsletter.
So if one is seeking loyal readers with whom to share thoughts, opinion and experiences or is looking for ways to increase ad revenue – www.blogertize.in could be a fine investment.

Massive Construction Projects Will Keep Steel Demand Strong in UAE
|
|
|
With growing economy that raised the investment in construction and infrastructure development activities, the annual domestic consumption of steel in the UAE surged from 4 Million Tons in 2006 to over 6 Million Tons in 2007, as per the new research report, “UAE Steel Industry Analysis”, from RNCOS.
The report sees the UAE as the frontrunner in the Gulf region due to its booming construction sector which is anticipated to see investment of nearly US$ 94 Billion between 2007 and 2009. However, the point of concern is the localization of construction activities to Dubai, but this trend is expected to change in coming years, with the entire federation seeing unprecedented growth, especially the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Several large-scale development projects have taken off in Dubai to make the UAE a popular tourist and business destination. These include Burj Dubai, Underwater Hotel, Dubailand, Business Bay, Palm Islands, Dubai Festival City, The World and Dubai Waterfront. Moreover, these projects will not only keep contractors busy, but also build a stable foundation for long-term economic growth of the country.
The ongoing development projects clearly reflect the growing demand for steel, cement and other construction material in the UAE which has continuously maintained double-digit economic growth rate. Besides, large infrastructure and property development projects have spurt the prices of steel tremendously in the country. Continuously rising demand for steel has created a big market for steel suppliers and stockists who compete to provide a wide range of steel on demand.

It thoroughly studies market trends, evolving markets, growth prospects and investment opportunities in the UAE and GCC steel markets.
