The Year 2021 Which investments will see the light in the biofuel industry? - Greenea
What is the worldwide situation of the biofuel market in end-2020?

2020 was a challenging year for the whole biofuel industry, as we have seen an unprecedented acceleration of investments in the biofuel market.
On the biofuel supply side, more than 20 companies worldwide seriously announced an investment in a HVO factory to serve the European and US markets. On the
feedstock supply side, we had a crisis on the feedstock supply fueled by covid-19. In some regions, feedstock supply was 30% down compared to 2019, where biofuels
demand was only 5 to 10% down. This shortage of feedstock supply was a crash-test for actors, as we fear there will not be enough feedstock to meet HVO supply in
the coming years.
Why such a popularity? Countries’ mandates is above the blend wall pushing the use of alternatives of FAME and Ethanol. HVO is at this stage the only alternative to

                                                                                                                                                                              Copyright © 2021 Greenea. All rights reserved
diesel biofuel FAME, and the number of diesel vehicles is so important (around 70%) in the EU, that distributors cannot bet on other alternatives non-diesel related to
fulfill the mandates. Financially, HVO production makes more sense as for majors, margins are attractive, while cost per GJ remain in the same order of magnitude
than FAME and UCOME costs. Finally, HVO production allows an actor to have a feet in the sustainable aviation fuel market, the bio-naphta market and the bio-LPG
market, the three molecules being co-products of HVO production.
What are the risks? The main risk is about feedstock procurement, as it is not clear today how the capacity added in 2020 can secure feedstock considering the
current pressure on the resources. The second risk concerns the blend wall definition. If B7 will remain the main biofuel used for diesel cars and B10/B30/B100 do not
heavily penetrate the market, then HVO is safe in the short-term. In the long-term, the EU is shifting towards gasoline vehicles, meaning less diesel sales and in its
wake probably less diesel biofuel sales.
2021 should probably be the year where companies are going to be down-to-earth, as investments will concretize. Players may realize that the task is harder than it
seems, particularly on the operational side to secure waste-based and advanced feedstocks.
Regarding covid-19 impacts on supply and demand. Despite a complicated year, exports to the EU are increasing in the top exporters, making the EU more and
more reliant on the outside. Regarding feedstocks, covid-19 barely hit exports from foreign countries to the EU. Since October 2020, most of the exporters are back to
normal or better than in 2019, except China and Indonesia. Regarding diesel biofuels imports, China’s UCOME exports to the EU increased by around 300kt,
increasing always more the EU’s dependance on fuels it soon won’t be able to use.
Legislation. European countries have until end-Q2 2021 to translate REDII into national schemes, however some countries have already taken the leap, particularly in
West and North Europe. For instance, the German Ministry of Environment has started the process of REDII transposition with an ambitious draft of law that projects to
increase the GHG reduction mandate by 22% by 2030. In the UK, a cap of 4% 1G feedstock has already been proposed decreasing to 2030. Italy, Sweden,
Netherlands, Spain have as well set some guidelines for the next decade.

For 3 years, the EU has not been ensuring its own UCO collection to meet its UCO(ME) demand and
                   therefore the EU has drastically increased UCO(ME) imports

      It is noticeable that most of the oil-producing - particularly from OPEP - have not implemented a biofuel mandate.
