Abstract
The status of biodiesel (BD) production and consumption, specifications and market status in Korea are discussed in this review. The main feedstock to produce BD is soybean oil and waste cooking oil in domestic, and some companies have tried to diversify BD feedstocks. Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) has begun a pilot project to produce BD feedstock from rapeseed for 3 years since 2007. In July 2006, Ministry of Commerce, Industry & Energy (MOCIE) and the domestic oil industry reached an agreement under which BD0.5 is supplied in market, and 158400 MT of BD would be supplied between 2007 and 2008. MOCIE reported that it will increase BD 0.5% every year to reach BD3 by 2012. It is expected that BD supply would continuously increase domestically in the future.
