fuel industry is in fact well consolidated and enjoys an “incumbent advantage” posi-
tion compared to renewable energies. To be competitive in the long run, they will in
fact need to establish an extended network of distribution infrastructure, stable actors,
and stable, dominant rules of design and financial approach.
Encouraging industrial research is expected to show important results in the next
few years, especially regarding the use of algal feedstock for renewable biofuel pro-
duction, with economic and environmental potential unapproachable by other current
feedstocks.
