Market rumors of Chinese U.S. soybean purchases and drought concerns in U.S. growing regions have lifted soybean futures, providing import cost support for domestic soybean oil. However, high inventories and cautious buying limit upside, pointing to a range-bound firm trend.
Asia
In China, the prices of Biodiesel were ~RMB 34.21/Gallon in April and ~RMB 35.39/Gallon in May, showing a ~3.5% increase. Similarly, in Saudi Arabia, the prices of Biodiesel were ~SAR 19.10/Gallon in April and ~SAR 19.50/Gallon in the following month, showing a ~2.1% increase. Asian biodiesel prices rose as fossil diesel tightness improved the substitution value of biodiesel. Indonesia’s planned move from B40 to B50 was the strongest regional signal, as higher palm oil methyl ester use would reduce diesel import needs and lift domestic biodiesel absorption. Palm oil remained the key feedstock driver, and stronger biodiesel blending meant more palm-based feedstock was pulled into fuel use. Saudi Arabia also saw support from tight refined-fuel markets after crude and refinery disruptions reduced product comfort.
Europe
In Germany, the prices of Biodiesel were ~EUR 4.31/Gallon in April and ~EUR 4.46/Gallon in May, showing a ~3.4% increase. European biodiesel gained because road-fuel blending demand strengthened while rapeseed oil costs kept production economics firm. Tight rapeseed supply and poor first-generation biodiesel margins supported FAME and RME values. Crop-cap changes also shifted part of the demand back toward crop-based biodiesel, giving producers stronger selling power. The market was not only feedstock-led; buyers also needed biodiesel to meet blending requirements as fossil diesel and gasoil remained elevated.
North America
In the United States, the prices of Biodiesel were ~USD 4.89/Gallon in April and ~USD 5.50/Gallon in the subsequent month, showing a ~12.5% increase. The sharper rise came from policy-backed demand, firm soybean oil costs, and stronger blending economics. The biomass-based diesel requirement for 2026 was set at 9.07 billion RINs. Production and consumption levels remained closely aligned over the period, indicating a balanced supply-demand situation.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, in the near term, biodiesel prices may stay supported by mandates and high replacement value against diesel. Feedstock costs will remain the main risk for regional price direction.

Asia
In the Asian region, the biodiesel prices witnessed a fluctuating trajectory in the first quarter of 2026. Asian markets moved into a wait-and-see mode as traders across China and India paused activity amid geopolitical uncertainty. Cooking oil prices held steady for over a month, reflecting a feedstock market yet to react to the broader energy shock. Chinese traders described conditions as chaotic, with most unwilling to take new positions until the crude oil direction becomes clearer. India faces indirect risk as a major consumer of palm and waste-based feedstocks, where any sustained crude rally could push input costs higher and squeeze domestic production margins.
Europe
In the European markets, the biodiesel prices witnessed an oscillating trajectory in the first quarter. European biodiesel premiums fell to their lowest in roughly two years as surging gasoil dragged differentials sharply lower across all categories. Crop-based biodiesel traded below outright gasoil prices for the first time, an unprecedented inversion that should theoretically stimulate blending demand but cannot, as EU regulations cap biodiesel at seven percent of road fuel. Most buyers are already blending at the maximum permissible rate, leaving no room to absorb additional volumes even at deeply discounted prices.
North America
In Q1’26, the biodiesel price curve displayed mixed trends during the quarter. Brazil saw a rare inversion where domestically produced biodiesel became cheaper than imported diesel, strengthening the farm lobby's push to urgently raise the mandatory blend ratio. The opposing fuel import lobby argues that higher blends would raise costs for end consumers and is instead backing proposals to allow limited biodiesel imports. In the United States, the biofuels industry is using the price shock to press Congress for permanent year-round access to higher ethanol blends, citing ample domestic supply and a consistent retail price advantage over standard fuel.
Biodiesel is a sustainable, biodegradable fuel that can be produced domestically using vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease. In its pure, unbleached form, it is frequently referred to as B100 or plain biodiesel. Biodiesel, like petroleum diesel, is used to power compression-ignition engines.

Transesterification is a chemical process that converts triglycerides (fats) found in oils (Feedstocks) into useable biodiesel. Biodiesel produced through the transesterification process has a substantially lower viscosity than petroleum diesel, making it suitable for use in diesel engines.
