Biodiesel Market growth outlook with industry review and forecasts 2017-2024
Global Biodiesel
Market size is expected to move up at a moderate rate in the next few
years. Biodiesel is derived from animal fats, cooking oils, yellow grease, and
vegetable oils by a process known as transesterification which converts fats
and oils into chemicals. It is a substitute fuel similar to fossil or conventional
fuels.
The Biodiesel Market worldwide is in a
transition phase of rapid growth and development, creating new opportunities in
the coming years. It has cetane ratings and outstanding lubricating properties
in comparison to low sulfur diesel fuels. Depleting petrochemical reserves in
oil rigs all over the globe will likely increase the product demand in coming
years. The global petroleum reserve is expected to last till nearly 2050. This
has encouraged researchers to look for suitable alternatives and create new
growth avenues for the overall market.

With shrinking land for agriculture,
increasing oil & fat demand and ever rising population, high competition in
the feedstock demand for the product manufacturing is likely to hamper the
future growth. There has been a major issue of variation in the crude oil
prices in the past several tears. These variations have affected the
consumption volume of biodiesel, hence restraining the growth of the global
market.
Need for energy independence and
increasing environmental concern have driven the demand for biodiesel market
worldwide. The product has the primary feature to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, which were totaled to over 6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide
equivalents. Also, it is biodegradable and helps to produce renewable liquid
fuel for transportation purpose. Being domestic in nature, it reduces the
dependency on the inherent lubricity, high flash point and imported petroleum. Moreover,
government policies and tax incentives to promote the product usage will also
have a significant influence on the global biodiesel market in coming years.
The segmentation of biodiesel market can be
done based on feedstock, application and geographical regions. On the basis of
feedstock, the market is segregated into vegetable oil, animal fats and brown
grease or trap grease. Vegetable oil may be obtained from soybean, rapeseed or
palm. Animal fats are primarily derived from by products from the animal meat.
It consists of lard or white grease from swine processing, poultry which may be
from the processing of turkey, chicken and other birds, and tallow from
processing cattle.
Based on the applications, biodiesel market
can be segregated into two major, mainly transportation and power generation.
The product can be easily used in existing fuel engines, infrastructure, and
vehicles with basically no changes. It can be used, stored, pumped, and burned
just as the petroleum based diesel fuel. It can be used in blended form with
other petroleum diesel fuels or in its pure form. In the power generation
sector, in 2015, the United States generated about 40 million kilowatt-hours
(kWh) of electricity using biodiesel.
Asia Pacific and Europe market has a huge
opportunity in countries like India, UK, and China, due to the ever-rising
diesel prices and vast number of diesel vehicles. With the growing existing
feedstock efficiency, the market will likely have a pattern shift in the
forecast span. In the upcoming years, the growth of algae as new feedstock
sources is also expected for product manufacturing. Fuels used for
transportation still makes up for a major chunk of share of the market. The
European region is a noteworthy product manufacturer with countries such as
France and Germany being the top producers.

The biodiesel market in the United States and
Europe has reached to remarkable levels of production capacities. On account of
government regulations and policies in the countries of Asia Pacific and Latin
America, new opportunities are on a rise. These opportunities include exports,
feedstock development and improved production. The government also continues to
actively develop and support suitable and alternative low cost feedstocks such
as tallow, vegetable oil, castor, algae, and jatropha to refer some.
Some of the key players in the global
biodiesel market are Western Dubuque Biodiesel, Delta American Fuel, Imperium
Renewables, DuPont, Deerfield Energy, Crimson Renewable Energy, China Biodiesel
International Holding, Diversified Energy Corporation, XL Renewables, Blue
Marble Energy Corp., American Energy Producer, ACCIONA Energy, LLC, and Green
Earth Fuels of Houston to name a few.
