Experts are predicting that China is gearing up for a biodiesel production "boom".

Given the latest concern of the Chinese government in ecological security, biodiesel market boom is projected for the country along with vast investments influx," according to Merchant Research & Consulting.

The analyst company's new report, Biodiesel World Market Outlook 2011, noted that in 2010 the revenues on the global market for biodiesel were estimated to be more than $18bn. It goes on to predict that this figure will grow "unprecedentedly" in the coming years - the revenues are forecast to climb to the peak of $70bn.
