German biodiesel exports have skyrocketed this year, with 1.1 million tons (330 million gallons) shipped between January to September, almost 14 percent up on the same period in 2012, according to the German Federal Statistical Office (GFSO).
GFSO has put the export surplus to over 672,000 tons (201.7 million gallons), significantly more than the previous year's 264,000 tons (79.25 million gallons). About 89 percent of the biodiesel was shipped to European Union countries with about a third going to the Netherlands. Nearly 100,000 tons (30 million gallons) went to the US for the first time.
