Outlook
Funding for biofuels and bioenergy research and development continues to grow, creating more job opportunities for biofuels professionals. There will be ongoing interest in studying, developing, and producing biofuels, such as ethanol for transportation fuel, and using more efficient sources of biomass. Scientists will continue to research and develop biofuels and biotechnology, with the aim to create crops for biofuels production and renewable energy sources. Biofuels processing technicians with an associate's degree and related work experience will have good chances of securing work.
