Abstract

Glycerin is well known traditional chemical substance for long years, and consumed world widely. But this situation was changed by a rapid growth of biodiesel in the world and it caused price corruption and oversupply. As a result, it looks like glycerin could find a new application under this situation, but suddenly, glycerin lost these one because of skyrocketed feedstock market price due to a rapid growth of biodiesel and a big new purchase power by China. Now, market is very complicated, and I try to focus these situations and discuss glycerin future outlook.
