Earlier Report Observations

The biodiesel market in Czechia experienced a contraction in physical volume from 300.1 thousand tonnes in 2018 to 244.4 thousand tonnes in 2020, while domestic production increased from 213.7 to 230.2 thousand tonnes over the same period. In value terms, the market size declined to 271.2 million dollars in 2019 before surging to 449.3 million dollars in 2021, with production value rising steadily from 209.5 to 338.0 million dollars.

From 2021 onward, European Union policies promoting renewable fuels and carbon emission reductions, along with regulatory changes such as differential tax rates based on feedstock origin, shaped the Czech biodiesel trade. Import values peaked at 352.4 million dollars in 2022 before declining, while exports followed a similar pattern, reaching 237.2 million dollars in 2022. Export restrictions on palm oil from Indonesia and Malaysia affected feedstock supply and pricing, influencing market dynamics.
