Analysis
OECD recorded 1.20 million TJ for biodiesel — energy production in 2024. That is the highest value across all 35 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 7.5% on the previous year and up 90.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, biodiesel — energy production in OECD peaked at 1.20 million TJ in 2024 and was at its lowest, 257.6 TJ, in 1990.
That places OECD 1st out of 51 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
