Thailand forecasts 22% growth in biodiesel production and consumption in 2026
In Thailand, biodiesel production and consumption are forecast to increase by 22% in 2026 compared with 2025, supported by higher blending requirements and government incentives. The country raised its biodiesel blending mandate from B5 to B7 in March to reduce dependence on imported petroleum and support domestic palm oil demand. Palm oil remains the primary biodiesel feedstock, with export controls introduced to help secure domestic supplies. The government is also promoting investment in production capacity, including a planned 300,000-ton-per-year biodiesel plant in Chonburi.
