According to a report by the Argentine Renewable Energies Chamber (CADER) entitled "State of the Biodiesel Industry 2010”, the South American country went from being fifth in the world biodiesel production tables in 2009 to the current position of fourth, after surpassing the United States.

In 2010, biodiesel production in Argentina is estimated at 1,900,000 tonnes, 51% higher than in the previous period, with sales totalling $ 1.9 billion (€1.4 billion).The CADER study shows that consequently, Argentina now occupies fourth slot behind Germany, France and Brazil) and argues that the sector’s plants in Argentina have sufficient installed capacity to produce an estimated 2,487,000 tonnes. Projections show that by the end of 2011, demand for local biodiesel could exceed 3 million tonnes, a situation that could encourage new investment to boost supply.
