Glycerine yields amount to about 10% of FAME production volumes. Almost 600,000 tonnes of FAME less will be produced in 2014 after over 11% growth in 2013, our latest estimates show. The bulk of the reduction comes from the United States, Argentina and Indonesia. Slight increases in FAME production in European origins will not be able to offset these.<\/p>\n<p>Glycerine supply from FAME production currently makes up 65-70% of total supply each year. The remaining glycerine is contributed as a by-product of fatty acid or fatty alcohol production, through saponification or, for sensitive applications where producers must avoid the use of animal fat or plant material as feedstocks, through the petrochemical route. Volumes from the latter production route are very small though.<\/p>\n<p>There are several factors that will drive the FAME industry, or the biodiesel industry as a whole for that matter, which are worth considering due to the importance of the supplies from this source for the glycerine sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Total glycerine supply is expected fall year-on-year in 2014 for the first time after more than a decade of growth as the major contributing industry, the production of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), is currently struggling.
