2022 biodiesel consumption unchanged
The preliminary statistics for 2022 published by the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA), show an incorporation rate of 7.2 per cent for biodiesel and 7.0 per cent for bioethanol. Total consumption in Germany in 2022 amounted to 34.7 million tonnes of diesel (B 7) and approximately 17.0 million tonnes of petrol (E 5/E 10). This means that total consumption was at the previous year’s level.
The Union zur Förderung von Oel- und Proteinpflanzen e. V. (UFOP) has pointed out that raising the greenhouse gas quota obligation from 6 per cent to 7 per cent the previous year did not lead to an increase in biofuels consumption, because trading in greenhouse gas reduction quotas and the increased efficiency of biofuels used in reducing greenhouse gas emission offset additional demand.
The Union for the Promotion of Oil and Protein Plants e. V. (UFOP) represents the political interests of companies, associations and institutions involved in the production, processing and marketing of domestic oil and protein plants in national and international bodies. UFOP supports research to optimise agricultural production and for the development of new recycling opportunities in the food, non-food and feed sectors. UFOP public relations aim to promote the marketing of domestic oil and protein plant end products.
