In the first biofuel investment boom that began about five years ago, the growth rate of EU biofuel production capacity far exceeds demand. While this year is facing a situation of oversupply of the market, the price of raw material oil crops has increased by 20% to 30% over last year. The EU biofuel companies have to face a situation where profits will fall sharply. In the past five years, the demand for bioethanol in the United States has more than doubled, but this demand will stabilize in the future. At the same time, due to the decline in the price of bioethanol, Brazil is more inclined to use sugarcane to generate electricity instead of producing automobile fuel. The survey shows that European biofuel producers are facing the most severe test. Since the middle of last year, many factories were in a state of loss, some production facilities had to be shut down, and the original investment plan could only be shelved.
“We are going through a very difficult period,†said Rob Vierhout, secretary-general of the European Bio-Ethanol Fuels Association (eBIO). “This year, European bio-ethanol production will increase by about 15%, which means that There is about 2 billion liters of excess capacity."
In addition, a large amount of cheap Brazilian sources sold on the European market has depressed the price of bioethanol, which has led to the unprofitable production of bioethanol in Europe. Abengoa, Europe’s largest bioethanol producer, recently shut down its plant in Salamanca, Spain; after German biofuel producer VERBIO announced a loss of 254.5 million euros last year, The 200,000-ton/year production line in the eastern German city of Schwedt was temporarily shut down; Austria's Agrana also postponed the commissioning of its 240 million litre/year plant.
In addition, this year's European biodiesel production is likely to decline, the main problem is that in the EU's largest biodiesel market, Germany. In Germany, the annual production capacity of biodiesel is about 5 million tons. The main raw material is rapeseed oil. Adopting this route not only costs high, but also delivers more taxes. In order to curb the overcapacity trend, the German government has increased taxes on biodiesel, which further weakened its price advantage over conventional diesel.
Even so, it cannot change the situation of biodiesel oversupply. According to the statistics of the German Biodiesel Association, biodiesel has been used without direct dosing in the road transport industry because of its high cetane number or combustion quality. This industry has become the main market for biodiesel, and the higher taxes Must undermine its competitiveness. Karin Retzlaff, deputy director of the German Biodiesel Association, said: "We expect this year's sales of pure biodiesel for trucks will fall by about 40%, so the overcapacity situation will be even worse."
In addition, German biodiesel producers are also seriously affected by US imports. In order to enjoy a $1/gallon tax break, low-cost Latin American or Southeast Asian biodiesel was shipped to the United States, where it was blended into traditional diesel fuel, which was often re-exported by dealers for profit. Last year, a total of 1 million tons of mixed biodiesel was exported to Europe, and the export volume to Germany alone was as high as 600,000 tons.
Despite this, European biofuel producers have not lost confidence in the outlook of the industry. They think that this situation will soon be reversed, because the EU's 27 member states will begin implementing the European Biofuels Directive, which includes the target of incorporating 5.75% biofuels into transportation fuel by 2010. In addition, the second-generation biofuel production process, that is, the process route using cellulosic biomass as raw material, will bring even more attractive profitability to producers once it is fully commercialized in the next four to five years.
