SINGAPORE, November 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

ICIS, the respected price reporting service for the global chemical industry, launches the weekly ICIS Global Biodiesel report that gives comprehensive coverage of the growing biodiesel market.

Over the past few years, the biodiesel markets have become more globalised and with this in mind, ICIS has merged its regional biodiesel reports for Asia, Europe and the Americas into one global report. The report will contain additional information on the Latin American biodiesel markets, including Argentina and Brazil.

The new report provides weekly biodiesel spot price assessments based on FOB NWE, FOB Rotterdam, CIF ARA T2, FOB Rosario, FOB Midwest, FD Midwest, FOB USG and FOB Southeast Asia.

It also features detailed analysis of political impact on the market, up-to-date production news on start-ups and planned/unplanned shutdowns, together with coverage of all related feedstock markets, including vegetable oils, ICE gasoil and crude glycerine.

The editorial team for the new ICIS Global Biodiesel report - Lei Lei Wong, Sarah Trinder and Judith Taylor - believe that the combination of ICIS' extensive portfolio and the team's expertise in covering the biodiesel and biofuels industries has produced a report that will provide market players with a complete and detailed view of the global biodiesel market.

"The new ICIS global biodiesel report is what our subscribers need in order to track market movements, regardless of whether they are in Asia, Europe or the Americas," the team said.

"The comprehensive coverage and analysis will allow them to make confident business decisions and increase their negotiating power when doing business globally," they added.
