Core Viewpoint - The Chinese biodiesel industry is facing significant challenges due to EU policies, but the development of bio marine fuel bunkering presents a viable opportunity for growth and market expansion [1][2][4]. Industry Overview - China is a major biodiesel producer with an annual output exceeding 2 million tons, of which 90% is exported [2]. - The EU is the largest market for Chinese biodiesel, with approximately 180,000 tons exported to the EU in 2023, accounting for 90% of China's total biodiesel exports [2]. Challenges Faced - The biodiesel industry is experiencing a 40% drop in export volume in the first half of 2025, with total exports at 380,100 tons [3]. - The EU has implemented multiple measures against Chinese biodiesel, including the revocation of ISCC certifications and anti-dumping duties ranging from 10% to 35.6%, severely impacting export opportunities [2]. Opportunities in Bio Marine Fuel - The bio marine fuel bunkering market is emerging as a critical strategy for the biodiesel industry to overcome export challenges, with potential annual usage exceeding 3.6 million tons [4][6]. - The demand for bio marine fuel is increasing due to the shipping industry's decarbonization pressures, with significant growth in sales at major ports like Singapore and Rotterdam [4]. Strategic Recommendations - Promoting bio marine fuel bunkering aligns with low-carbon development trends and can help circumvent EU tariffs [5]. - Establishing a domestic carbon accounting and certification system for bio marine fuel can enhance China's position in international trade [6]. - The industry should transition from an export-dependent model to a dual circulation strategy, focusing on innovation and high-quality development [7].
