In Germany, after a long interruption, the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) has published the biofuels consumption figures up to August 2025. For the first time, the data also include HVO volumes. BAFA thus meets the call for greater transparency in the blending market that the Union zur Förderung von Oel- und Proteinpflanzen e.V. (UFOP) has repeatedly issued. In August 2025, biodiesel consumption increased just over 3 per cent on the previous month, reaching 202,900 tons while still falling 3 per cent short of the previous year’s figure. The HVO volume amounted to approximately 10,340 tons, around 12 per cent below the July level. Since at the same time, consumption of diesel fuel decreased 8 per cent, the HVO share in blends rose 0.7 per cent to 7.3 per cent. In the first eight months of 2025, the use of biodiesel for blending totalled just under 1.6 million tons, a decrease of around 2 per cent on the same period last year according to research by Agrarmarkt Informations-Gesellschaft (mbH). The HVO volume reached 112,888 tons, also slightly below the previous year’s 117,500 tons. Consumption of diesel fuel in the period January to August added up to roughly 20.2 million tons, exceeding the previous year’s level by nearly 2 per cent. Against this background, the incorporation rate decreased 0.2 per cent year-on-year, falling to 7.3 per cent.
