Rohaise Low has worked on GlobalData’s (formerly LMC International) Biofuels Team for 12 years, analyzing biofuels markets around the world, covering all aspects from feedstocks and policies to prices and by-products. She has specialized in analyzing raw material and by-product markets, appraising investment projects for new biofuels plants, assessing the impact of changes in biofuel policies, as well as evaluating the impact of technological developments within the biofuels sector. She directs GD’s ongoing evaluation of the global outlook for biodiesel. Over recent years, the focus on lowering carbon emissions has seen biofuels producers shift their focus to wastes and residues as feedstocks. Rohaise has led research into the competition between these waste feedstocks and soybean oil and other vegetable oils, looking at their supply and how they fit into the biofuels market.
