The biodiesel market in the US is expected to reach 2,822 million liters in 2010 and 6,453 million liters in 2020. The US Government has been promoting the production and use of biodiesel through various incentives and policy measures. The Renewable Fuel Standard 2 (RFS) program has been formulated to meet the requirements of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). The revised RFS requires the use of 11.1 billion gallons of renewable fuels in 2009 which will continue to increase thereafter to reach 36 billion gallons by 2022.
According to RFS 2, biodiesel is categorized in the biomass based diesel category and minimum 1 billion gallons is to be produced by 2012 which is over 50% more than the present levels. Future Outlook for German Biodiesel Market is Bleak The German biodiesel market is facing a bleak outlook due to the impostion of taxes which have made biofuels too expensive for its consumers. Though the country is the largest producer of biodiesel in Europe, the future for the market looks weak. This is mainly due to the taxes the German government has imposed on green fuels. Another factor that has contributed to the negative outlook of the German biodiesel market is the generous export subsidies received by the US producers. The EU has now imposed an import tariff on US biodiesel imports to protect the European market. The country has reduced the blending target to 6.3% in 2010 from 6.8% as set out previously in the plan to cut carbon dioxide emissions, although the specific blending mandates for biodiesel will remained unchanged until 2014.

This, coupled with the country’s concern for energy security, has led to increased interest from the government in developing the alternative fuel vehicle market in the country. In 2009, the government of China provided a 10 billion yuan ($1.5 billion) subsidy for three years to automakers who upgrade their technology and develop alternative fuel vehicles. This stimulus package will result in rising activity in the biofuels sector in the country.
