Five main drivers set the market conditions to ease advanced bioenergy penetration

The five drivers are often defined at country or even local scale, for instance the feedstock supply determines the energetic potential of the bioenergy (volume effect), shapes the biomass-to-bioenergy value chain (mix effect), and is a key driver for biofuel quality/cost competitiveness (price effect). The infrastructure maturity determines feasibility and risks associated with bioenergy projects, while regulation and acceptance drives the biomass market supply and the bioenergy demand (volume and price effect), the technologies and economics drive bioenergy cost competitiveness (price effect), and substitutability drives market positioning for biofuels and depends on the penetration of alternative renewable energies (for example, trucks, aviation, and shipping are the sectors where the uptake of alternative renewable solutions is forecasted to be the most limited).
