In North Dakota, Biodiesel Magazine reported that China’s biomass-based diesel imports are expected to increase 40% this year.
The report also noted that the country’s exports of biomass-based diesel fuels are also surging, according to a report filed with the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service’s Global Agricultural Information Network.
According to the report, the export of used cooking oil (UCO)-based biodiesel and hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel (HDRD) were up significantly during the first half of this year due to strong demand from the European Union.
The report also shows that China is expected to have 48 biodiesel plants in place by the end of 2023 with a combined 3.7 billion liters of capacity, up from 46 plants with a combined 3.5 billion liters of capacity last year.
