Green diesel, commonly referred to as biodiesel, is a renewable, clean-burning alternative fuel made from the transesterification of recycled cooking oils and animal fat. Green diesel, also known as biodiesel, has similar properties to petroleum diesel. The Global Biofuels Alliance is a G20-led initiative with seven core members: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, India, Italy, South Africa, and the United States. The initiative also has the support of eight other countries, including Sri Lanka, Kenya, Paraguay, Seychelles, Uganda, Iceland, Finland, and Guyana. G20 invitee countries that support the Alliance include Bangladesh, Singapore, Mauritius, and the United Arab Emirates. Expensive and more environmentally friendly. It does not emit sulfur or any other harmful chemicals. Due to these advantages, it is used in a variety of industries, including automotive, marine, railway, agriculture, and mining. The selected projects will increase domestic biofuel and bioproduct production by moving biorefinery development from pre-pilot to demonstration, resulting in sustainable fuels with lower emissions than fossil fuels. The government's provision of subsidies to encourage the production of biodiesel and the growing need for environmentally friendly fuels that lower greenhouse gas emissions are anticipated to propel the green diesel market in the medium run.

Driving Factors

Rising concern about greenhouse gas emissions has led to an increase in the use of renewable and clean energy. As a result, green diesel fuels are rapidly replacing traditional fossil fuels around the world. In addition, in January 2023, the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced it will invest USD 118 million in 17 projects to accelerate the production of sustainable biofuels for America's transportation and manufacturing needs. Many governments support environmentally friendly alternatives such as green diesel. In addition, biodiesel is the only fuel that can be used in a variety of energy sectors, including electricity, transportation, heat, and transportation. This is one of the factors driving up demand for green diesel.

Restraining Factors       

The use of low-quality biodiesel blends has resulted in significant power loss in advanced direct injection engines as well. An effective performance diesel fuel additive, also known as a flow improver, can help to prevent such problems.

Market Segmentation 

By Type Insights

The blended form segment dominates the market with the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on type, the global green diesel market is segmented into pure form, and blended form. Among these, the blended form segment is dominating the market with the largest revenue share over the forecast period. Blended biodiesel, which impacts a balance between renewable petroleum and connectivity with existing infrastructure, is gaining popularity as an intermediate step toward meeting cleaner energy targets. This trend is driving the adoption of biodiesel blends, particularly in regions that have implemented renewable fuel standards and are incentivizing lower-carbon alternatives. Manufacturers are designing engines that can handle higher biodiesel blends, resulting in improved performance and efficiency while reducing the need for modifications.  

By Technology Insights

The pyrolysis segment is witnessing significant CAGR growth over the forecast period.

Based on technology, the global green diesel market is segmented into hydro-processing, catalytic upgrading, pyrolysis, biomass to liquid (BTL) and thermochemical process (Gasification). Among these, the pyrolysis segment is witnessing significant growth over the forecast period. Pyrolysis, a thermal decomposition process that converts biomass or waste materials into bio-oils, gases, and biochar, has the potential to drive the green diesel market through several key trends. Technological advancements in pyrolysis processes resulted in more efficient and scalable systems. Improved reactor designs, innovative catalysts, and optimized operating conditions increase the yield and quality of bio-oils, which are a critical component in the production of green diesel. These advancements enable higher conversion rates and the use of a broader range of feedstocks, such as agricultural residues, forestry waste, and even municipal solid waste, thereby increasing the availability of sustainable sources for green diesel production.

By Application Insights

The fuel dominates the market with the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the application, the global green diesel market is segmented into power generation, fuel, and others. Among these, the fuel segment is dominating the market with the largest revenue share over the forecast period. Green diesel market growth is being driven by a notable shift toward renewable and low-carbon fuels, as well as stringent environmental regulations and sustainability goals. Green diesel, which is a renewable and cleaner alternative to conventional diesel, benefits from this trend, particularly as governments and industries work to reduce carbon footprints and combat climate change. This regulatory push encourages the use of green diesel blends, such as B20 or B10, in the transportation and industrial sectors, promoting a shift to more sustainable fuel sources.

Regional Insights

North America dominates the market with the largest market share over the forecast period.

North America is dominating the market with the largest market share over the forecast period. The presence of significant players such as Chevron Corporation, Valero Energy Corporation, Gevo, Inc., Phillips 66, and others in this region increases market expansion opportunities. Furthermore, the US green diesel market held the largest market share. In California, the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCSF) makes renewable diesel (green diesel) cost-competitive with biodiesel and petrodiesel by offsetting some of the costs. In the Canada green diesel market, the Clean Fuel Standard, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 million tons per year by 2030, is expected to spur market growth. In January 2023, Imperial Oil Canada announced an investment of approximately $720 million (USD 560 million) to begin the construction of the largest renewable.

Europe is expected to grow the fastest during the forecast period. The European Union's (EU) stringent environmental regulations and ambitious sustainability goals have resulted in significant demand for renewable fuels. The Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and the revised Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) set targets for increasing the proportion of renewable energy in transportation fuels, encouraging the use of green diesel and biodiesel blends. These regulations foster the growth of green diesel by promoting blending mandates, tax breaks, and carbon intensity reduction targets, which effectively drive market demand and encourage investment in renewable fuel technologies
