Biodiesel is produced from fatty oils and methanol or ethanol, using a transesterification process. It is an alternative fuel having similar characteristics to petroleum diesel. Growing concern for the environment, increase in demand for diesel fuels, and concern of energy security are some of the major factors driving the biodiesel market. Rise in the investments made in the energy & power sector, and growing demand for clean and renewable sources of energy is expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period. Increasing use of crude glycerin from biodiesel production and increased use of biodiesel in the transportation industry in developed regions is expected to spur the market growth. However, stringent norms by the government, fluctuation in prices of raw materials, and consumption volume of biodiesel are likely to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
