Abstract: This paper summarized and analyzed the physical and chemical properties, application fields, and domestic and foreign markets status, manufacturing technology and limiting factors of biobutanol. To promote the sustainable development of biobutanol industry, several proposals about technological improvement and development direction were made. They included improvoment of strains, increase of butanol tolerance and production ratio; development of efficient fermentation technology and separation technology with low energy consumption; expansion of raw material, and development of new production technology of cellulosic butanol, ect.

Key words: bioenergy, butanol, research progress, market status
