European Pure Biodiesels Available for Final Consumption by Country

In 2024, Sweden is the leading country in Europe for pure biodiesel available for final consumption, with 495.79 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe). Austria, Romania, and Poland follow, but at significantly lower levels of 73.46 ktoe, 55.27 ktoe, and 41.34 ktoe respectively. Germany, Spain, and Belgium show moderate activity, with Germany and Spain close to each other at 28.79 ktoe and 28.54 ktoe. The rest of the countries display minimal contributions, with many registering less than 1 ktoe. France and Serbia exhibit negligible or even negative values, highlighting a lack of biodiesel activity in those markets.

Year-on-year variations highlight significant growth in Sweden (+4.67%), Romania (+62.03%), Poland (+119.41%), and Germany (+52.06%), whereas Austria and Belgium experienced declines of -1.01% and -1.73% respectively. Spain, Denmark, Portugal, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, Ireland, and France showed no change, whereas Croatia observed a decrease of -6.62%.

Key future trends to watch in the European pure biodiesel market include:

• The potential for growth in Eastern European countries like Romania and Poland.
• Stability in leading markets such as Sweden despite minor annual increases.
• Possible declines or policy shifts in smaller markets affecting overall consumption figures in places like Belgium and Austria.
• Increased policy focus on reducing carbon emissions could lead to a rise in biodiesel consumption overall.
