Emerging Trends in Biodiesel Market
Biodiesel in Hard-to-Abate Sectors
- Industries like mining, marine shipping, and rail transport are increasingly turning to biodiesel blends to cut emissions. These sectors are difficult to decarbonize due to their reliance on heavy-duty fuels, but biodiesel offers a practical solution without major infrastructure changes.
Rise of Hydro-Treated Vegetable Oil (HVO)
- Hydro-treated vegetable oil, also known as renewable diesel, is gaining strong momentum in the biodiesel market. Its chemical similarity to conventional diesel makes it fully compatible with existing engines and fuel infrastructure.
Expanding Industrial Applications
- Beyond road transport, biodiesel is diversifying into marine, rail, and power generation sectors. Power plants are using biodiesel as a backup fuel during peak demand, while smaller facilities in regions lacking natural gas infrastructure rely on biodiesel for electricity generation. Industrial sites are also adopting biodiesel for heating and process energy.
