NEW YORK, March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Pike Pulse Report: Biofuels Commercialization by Oil Majors

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0801441/Pike-Pulse-Report-Biofuels-Commercialization-by-Oil-Majors.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Renewable_energy

Assessment of Scale-up Strategies and Execution of 10 Leading International Oil Companies

At 30 billion gallons in 2011, the global biofuels industry has become big business. Although conventional biofuels derived from commodity crops account for the bulk of production today, a proliferation of national blending mandates have triggered a stampede to commercialize advanced conversion pathways that rely on low cost, non-food feedstocks. With a stake in future oil production and "easy oil" increasingly difficult to source, the world's largest oil companies have each charted strategies to bring biofuels to market at scale.

A common misconception is that biofuels are generally adverse to Big Oil's interest. The companies profiled in this report have collectively sunk billions into developing the industry over the last 5 years. While a handful are pursuing near-term production via proven, first generation pathways, all acknowledge that advanced biofuels must play a strategic role in the future energy mix. To varying degrees, these companies have established strategic partnerships and invested in innovative startups in an effort to build out integrated supply chain delivery networks. With the estimated cost of meeting emerging mandates over the next decade at $336 billion, access to the oil industry's capital and expertise will be critical to scaling up biofuels production.

This Pike Pulse report evaluates ten of the leading publicly-traded international oil majors and rates them on 12 criteria for strategy and execution, including production strategy and roadmap, partnerships, geographic reach, investment portfolio, distribution network, and market impact. Using Pike Research's proprietary Pike Pulse methodology, companies are profiled, rated, and ranked with the goal of providing industry participants with an objective assessment of these majors' relative strengths and weaknesses in the emerging biofuels marketplace.

Top 10 Vendors:

1. Shell

2. BP

3. Total

4. Petrobras
