Crude glycerine has a glycerol content of around 40-90% along with some share of methanol, soaps, water, and salts. The production of crude glycerol has significantly increased over the years owing to a considerable increase in the production of biodiesel. The significant market growth in the production of biodiesel has further resulted in a decrease in the prices of crude glycerine over the years.
The application of crude glycerine has increased in animal feed market segment. Crude glycerine is increasingly being used in feed for pigs and other animals to provide readily utilized energy. Animal feed containing crude glycerine has less feed dust and is economical. Addition of crude glycerine results in a reduction of corn required to meet the nutrition requirements. The use of crude glycerine has increased in animal feed owing to the rising price of corn and the availability of a surplus of crude glycerine. Some other applications of crude glycerine include feedstock for chemicals and biogas production.
Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
Crude glycerine is mostly used to convert refined glycerine with enhanced purity. Refine glycerine is used in varied applications such as food and beverage, personal care, automotive, pharmaceutical, and healthcare, and chemical intermediate among others. Crude glycerine is also used as a solvent for enhancing enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass during atmospheric autocatalytic organosolv pretreatment. It also finds application as a green solvent for organic reactions.
Growing environmental concerns and increasing greenhouse emissions have increased the use of biodiesel. Use of biodiesel as an alternate source of energy results in reduced carbon dioxide, sulfur and nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide among others. Increased use of biodiesel has resulted in market growth in the production of crude glycerine.
Rising industrialization, growing urbanization, and increasing demand from wastewater treatment drive the growth of the crude glycerine market. Crude glycerine is used as a source of external carbon for wastewater treatment for increased efficiency in the removal of nitrogen forms. Growing market demand from developing economies, technological advancement, and significant investments in research and development by leading players fuels the growth of the crude glycerine market.
