  "account": "The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts global marine biodiesel demand could more than double by 2031 without the International Maritime Organization (IMO) implementing its Net-Zero Framework. Currently, marine biodiesel makes up just 0.6% of total marine fuel use in 2031, but without IMO regulations, it could account for 1% of renewable energy growth in shipping. Europe, with its FuelEU Maritime regulation, will drive four-fifths of marine biodiesel demand growth. Asia Pacific will see the largest share of this increase, with marine biodiesel use potentially reaching 6 billion litres/year by 2031, nearly double Europe's consumption.",
  "summary": "Global marine biodiesel demand will rise from just under 1 billion litres/year (around 890,000 mt/year) in 2025 to nearly 2 billion litres/year (around 1.78 million mt/year) by 2031, the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts. That estimate assumes the IMO does not adopt its Net-Zero Framework, the global rules it has approved to cut GHG emissions ...",
