Japan Biodiesel Industry Trends and Drivers:
The growing demand for clean fuels, as caused by the stringent government regulations for environment protection in Japan is propelling the growth of the Japan biodiesel market. The strong focus on alternate fuels to decarbonize a transport sector that is still highly reliant on petroleum products has been intensified by Japan’s pledge to net-zero emissions by 2050. Government regulations such as the Sophisticated Meth-ods of Energy Supply Structures Act also support biofuels use through compulsory blending ratios for transportation fuels. Increasing environmental consciousness among consumers and industries leads to a positive impact on the consumption of biodiesel as it’s an eco-friendly fuel that helps it to drinking greenhouse gases and air pollutants. In addition, Japan’s scarce domestic energy resources make the production of biodiesel from indigenous feedstocks a strategic tool for energy security and a means to mitigate the risk associated with fluctuating world oil prices.”
Feedstock variation and technological progress are shaping the biodiesel production structure in Japan. Although vegetable oils have been dominant in the usage of feedstock, attention is growing towards waste cooking oils and animal fats, which are cheaper and were considered as waste. Conventional alcohol trans-esterification, pyrolysis, hydro-processing and other advanced production techniques have been developed to enhance conversion efficiency and biodiesel quality. The production of 2nd generation biodiesel from non-food biomass feedstock is advancing as Japan seeks to prevent competing for food and to make use of agriculture and forestry residues. The introduction of blending mandates for B5 and B10 biodiesel is creating new market opportunities in automotive fuels, and the industrial sector is starting to discover solutions to power generation as biodiesel gains cost parity with more traditional forms of energy. In addition, public-private partnership projects are stimulating new ideas in feedstock production, process technology and distribution networks, which sustain the growth potential of the Japan’s biodiesel industry.
