Biodiesel blending

The total consumption of hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) and biodiesel has remained stable in previous years due to the increasing trend of double counting used cooking oil and tallow. SGS INSPIRE estimates that the total bio-based fatty acid mehtyl ester (FAME) in all diesel-type fuels was 5.9% by v/v in 2016 and 7.4% v/v in 2019. At the member states’ level, to meet the renewable energy target for 2030, SGS INSPIRE assumes that the B10 share could grow in France, while other countries might prefer blending HVO and double-counted biodiesel-type fuels instead of introducing additional infrastructure for B10.
