Renewable Diesel Market by Feedstock Type (Fresh Vegetable Oils, Waste Oils), Technology (Biomass-to-Liquid, Hydrotreating, Pyrolysis-Rapid Thermal), End-User - Global Forecast 2024-2030
The Renewable Diesel Market size was estimated at USD 40.41 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 46.78 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 16.18% to reach USD 115.53 billion by 2030.
Renewable diesel is majorly made from fats and vegetable oils and is processed to be chemically similar to petroleum diesel. It is produced most often by hydrotreating and also via gasification, pyrolysis, and other biochemical and thermochemical technologies. Renewable diesel’s high use in buses, waste transport, and emergency response vehicles is expanding its making. In the past few years, there has been several government initiatives to accelerate the use and development of renewable fuels. Advanced quality and performance tracking certifications and standards have been established to ensure their safety. However, increasing cost of organic feedstocks and lubricity limitations of renewable diesel fuels impede their extensive use. Advancements in the production and sourcing technologies of renewable diesel curb this limitation. End-users and market players have been involved in strategic collaboration activities to expand their deployment across industry activities.
Regional InsightsThe policy environment for renewable diesel has led to a cascade of new projects, including new standalone facilities, conversions of pre-existing refinery units, and co-processing with fossil fuels at refineries in the Americas. The United States supports renewable diesel supply via the national level Renewable Fuel Standard, a biomass-based diesel blenders tax credit, and state-level policies such as the Oregon Clean Fuels Program and California Low Carbon Fuel Standard. Countries in Southeast Asia have been pressing the use of renewable diesel (RD) as an alternative to petroleum diesel. Currently, the major RD produced and consumed in Southeast Asia is biodiesel (BD), produced from edible oils. The European region also observes high production of renewable diesel with the rise of significant market players and the automotive industry’s shift to sustainable fuel usage.
Market InsightsMarket DynamicsThe market dynamics represent an ever-changing landscape of the Renewable Diesel Market by providing actionable insights into factors, including supply and demand levels. Accounting for these factors helps design strategies, make investments, and formulate developments to capitalize on future opportunities. In addition, these factors assist in avoiding potential pitfalls related to political, geographical, technical, social, and economic conditions, highlighting consumer behaviors and influencing manufacturing costs and purchasing decisions.
