Fatty acid methyl ester is a class of fatty acid esters which is derived by transesterification of fats with methanol. The physical properties of fatty acid methyl esters are more similar to petroleum diesel than pure vegetable oils. The mixture of different fatty acid methyl esters is usually referred as bio diesels. Fatty acid methyl esters is a nontoxic, biodegradable biodiesel that can be produced from a wide range of oil seeds such as sunflower, palm, soy as well as animal fats. It can be used both as a blending component in fossil diesel and also as a pure fuel. Fatty acid methyl ester is fully miscible with fossil diesel and is used to improve lubricating properties. It can also be used as pure fuel in the form of B100.
MARKET DYNAMICS
The global fatty acid methyl ester market is growing at a significant pace owing to driving factors such as increasing demand for fatty acid methyl esters from end-use industries such as leather, coatings, energy, oil, agriculture, and lubricants. It is growingly used as a green solvent in the paints and coating industry owing to its biodegradability and low volatile organic compound content. Growing demand for biodiesel due to its environment-friendly nature, low carbon and green house gas emissions, as well as reduced particulate matter emissions has earned it a large consumer base. The gradual transition of automotive sector to green mobility is anticipated to drive the global fatty acid methyl esters market in the forecast period. Moreover, in leather chemical industry, it is used to produce leather fat liquoring agent, which is used as an excellent textile detergent. Growing detergents demands is anticipated to spur the growth of the global fatty acid methyl esters market growth in the forecast period. As fatty acid methyl esters are biodegradable in nature they should be consumed within six months to avoid oxidation and polymerization process of fatty acid methyl esters. The short storage time compared to petrol based fuels is a drawback to the fatty acid methyl esters industry. Vehicles that run on pure fatty acid methyl esters also need approval by the vehicle manufacturer to ensure compatibility of materials and engine settings. The incompatibilty of fatty acid with seal and hoses made from natural rubber, polyvinyl, and polyprpoylene materials is anticipated to slow the growth of fatty acid methyl esters to some extent.
