5 Largest Biodiesel Producers in the World

1. Indonesia 

Biodiesel production in 2022: 4.7 billion gallons 

Coming as a surprise to many, Indonesia bags the first spot in the list of the largest biodiesel producers in the world. The country is conducting significant testing in the biodiesel industry, hoping to launch new alternatives and blends for commercial use by the general public. By 2030, its predicted that the country’s use of palm oil for the production of biodiesel will increase to 23%.

UN FAO has also indicated in its annual report that in the coming decade, Indonesia will emerge as the main driver behind the increased use of vegetable oil for biodiesel production. The country is currently the world’s largest producer and exporter of the oil and has a 30% blend mandate for palm oil biodiesel. This helps Indonesia not only lower fuel imports but also boost domestic palm oil production.
