Annual Production Capacity: The quantity of biodiesel that a plant can produce in a calendar year, assuming normal downtime for maintenance. It includes the capacity of idle plants until the plant is dismantled or abandoned. Source: Form EIA-22M Monthly Biodiesel Production Survey Note: (s)=Less than 0.5 MMgal/yr and mb/d |
