Key points
- Citing BAFA data, UFOP reports that imported HVO rose from 68,500 tonnes to 337,100 tonnes in the first half of 2026, while biodiesel sales were 1.062 million tonnes versus 1.085 million tonnes a year earlier.
- The association argues that the DIN EN 590 maximum 7% blending limit constrains biodiesel use and advocates 30% biodiesel blends in closed heavy-duty fleets and 100% biodiesel.
- Those proposals are advocacy, not newly granted approvals for all vehicles.
