Market Overview Quarterly Update on Global
Biodiesel Market Asia   The producers of
Biodiesel in the southeast Asian countries were
heard releasing sufficient volumes to cater to
the increased overseas and domestic demand. The
outbreak of Covid-19 impacted the supply of used
cooking oil in China, which is the countrys main
and primary biodiesel feedstock. As per our Q3
estimates, the regional demand stood low, but the
production has increased on the back of robust
demand from the European Union. With around 42
biodiesel plants projected to start operations by
the end of 2020, the sentiments are turning
bullish as the year-end approaches. In Indonesia,
prevailing concerns due to government's inability
to keep pace up with the biodiesel blending
program, widened the price gap between gasoil and
palm oil. Get more info https//www.chemanalyst.

North America   Biodiesel producers in the US
ramped up production rates seeing favorable gains
during the peak demand season in summers. The
third quarter reported marked increased in the
production of Biodiesel in the US, as the demand
was supported by a mandate on consumption and
buoyant fuel demand for the conveyance of goods
by the heavy vehicles. USDA data shows that US
exported Biodiesel to seven countries with Canada
as the top destination with volume reaching 56904
metric tons in September.   Europe   The supply
of biodiesel started picking up in Europe
starting July 2020, with a strong rise in the
consumption patterns. Lack of imports from Asia
and Argentina, led to shortage in supply of FAME
(Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) in September 2020.  At
the end of Q3, the supply of rapeseed-based
biodiesel remained enough. Due to its summer
blend properties, the demand for FAME 0 remained
robust across Europe. In addition, UCOME (Used
Cooking Oil Methyl Ester) was experiencing better
demand than other biodiesel grades after its
demand faded by the end of Q3. How we can

About Biodiesel is made from a blend of
resources such as recycled cooking oil, vegetable
oils, and animal fats. Biodiesel is a renewable,
biodegradable, and clean-burning diesel
substitute that can be used in diesel engines. As
per its technical definition, Biodiesel is a
liquid fuel which should meet certain legal
diesel motor fuel specifications to be utilized
as an automotive or industrial fuel. Therefore,
raw vegetable oil cannot be termed as
Biodiesel, as it cannot meet the diesel fuel
specifications. The largest source of oil comes
from oil crops such as rapeseed, palm, or
soybean. Rapeseed represents the greatest
potential for biodiesel production in the United
Kingdom. At present, biodiesel is mainly sourced
from waste vegetable oils that come from
restaurants, industrial food companies such as
Birdseye, etc. In cold weather, the performance
of the Biodiesel depends on the blend of
Biodiesel, the feedstock, and the petroleum
diesel attributes. In a general scenario, blends
with lower percentages of biodiesel perform
superior in cold temperatures.
