Biodiesel Market Analysis:
The biodiesel market is experiencing steady growth owing to the rising awareness of climate change and the need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions driving the demand for biodiesel as a renewable alternative to conventional fossil fuels. Besides this, favorable government policies and regulations promoting renewable energy sources, along with incentives such as tax credits and subsidies, stimulate growth in the biodiesel market. For instance, the U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), introduced regulations to ensure that gasoline sold in the United States comprises a minimum volume of renewable fuel. The National Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program, also called the RFS Program, has set new registration, reporting, and compliance requirements for major refiners, fuel blenders, and fuel importers.
Biodiesel Market Trends:
Government Policy Support
Government policies are shaping the market with subsidies, tax incentives, blending mandates, and sustainability regulations that influence production levels, investments, and market growth. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 expanded and revised the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Under the RFS Program, a mandatory mix of renewable fuel is integrated with transportation fuel, with the volume required increasing each year up to 36 billion gallons by 2022. The RFS program of renewable fuel categories must emit fewer greenhouse gases (GHG) than the gasoline or diesel they replace. Diesel should be produced from renewable feedstocks, such as biodiesel and non-ester renewable diesel that must illustrate the lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction of 50%. As per the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), biodiesel is estimated for 9% of total U.S. biofuel consumption and production in 2022.
Sustainable Production Practices
The biodiesel industry has become committed to sustainable production practices. The Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials conference and other feedstock and products management initiatives are needed to ensure feedstock is sourced responsibly, encouraging responsible environmental management and corporate citizenship. Besides this, in January 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has granted a total of $118 million fund for 17 projects to reduce the carbon footprint of biofuel production by reaching commercial-scale for biofuel and bioproduct manufacturing. The projects, administered in universities and corporations, will advance commercial-scale biorefinery development, from pre-pilot to commercial, and lead to the domestic production of biofuels and bioproducts that are more environmentally friendly than using gasoline and diesel fuels. It further advances President Biden’s goals to advance an equitable, clean energy future, and to achieve a net-zero emission economy by 2050. The projects demonstrated through this funding opportunity will further meet DOE’s overall goal of producing cost-competitive biofuels and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 70% by 2030.
Latest Industry News:
The market is also being driven by capacity expansions:
- September 2023: Aemetis announced the expansion of the Universal Biofuels subsidiary of the annual production capacity of its India biodiesel plant to 60 million gallons more than a year ahead of schedule. It will aid in the growing demand for biodiesel by India government-owned Oil Marketing Companies (OMC). According to the Aemetis Five Year Plan, an expansion from 50 million gallons per year (MGY) capacity to 100 million gallons per year (MGY) of biodiesel production capacity is to be completed by the year 2025 at the India plant.
- June 2022: Cargill introduced the expansion of an advanced biodiesel plant in Ghent, Belgium which transforms waste oils and residues into renewable fuel. It is their third plant to house BDI’ repeatable catalyst (RepCAT) technology after commercial plants in California and Hungary.
