Biodiesel production in 2022: 634 million gallons (Estimated)

China has worked to drive up its biodiesel production in 2022 from its 2021 capacity of 475 million gallons. The country has also managed to develop a highly profitable biodiesel export industry, with prices rising to over $1,723 per ton in 2023. The demand for low-carbon development in the rest of the world has fueled this increase in the Chinese export industry. By the end of 2022, China had also mandated that all fuel for the transport industry must have at least a 20% biodiesel component.
