The European Commission has imposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese biodiesel imports, helping to protect close to 6,000 EU jobs across more than 60 producers in 18 Member States.
The imposition of measures follows an anti-dumping investigation that revealed dumped biodiesel imports from China were harming the EU biodiesel industry, which faced unfair competition and possible plant closures.
Measures are imposed on biodiesel in pure form or as included in a blend, with aviation biofuels known as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) excluded. Duties range from 10% to 35.6% and supersede the provisional duties imposed in August 2024.
The measures protect a renewable alternative to fossil fuels in the EU’s transport sector – biodiesel’s primary use – thus enhancing EU energy security.
