Highlights
Production - U.S. production of biodiesel was 151 million gallons in June 2020. Biodiesel production during June 2020 was 1 million gallons lower than production in May 2020. Biodiesel production from the Midwest region (Petroleum Administration for Defense District 2) accounted for 71 percent of the United States total. Production came from 90 biodiesel plants with capacity of 2.5 billion gallons per year.
Sales - Producer sales of biodiesel during June 2020 included 72 million gallons sold as B100 (100% biodiesel) and an additional 85 million gallons of B100 sold in biodiesel blends with diesel fuel derived from petroleum.
Feedstocks - There were a total of 1,136 million pounds of feedstocks used to produce biodiesel in June 2020. Soybean oil remained the largest biodiesel feedstock during June 2020 with 747 million pounds consumed.
Background
The Monthly Biodiesel Production Report provides data on operations of the U.S. biodiesel industry as part of EIA's response to section 1508 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 which directed EIA to publish information on renewable fuels including biodiesel. Data are provided for the U.S. and in selected cases by state and region.
The source of data is Form EIA-22M Monthly Biodiesel Production Survey, used to collect the following information from registered producers of biodiesel.
- plant location, operating status, and annual production capacity
- production of 100% biodiesel (B100)
- biodiesel coproduct production
- stocks
- feedstock, alcohol input, and catalysts used in biodiesel production
- sales of B100 and blended biodiesel from producing plants
- sales of biodiesel to end-users
Form EIA-22M provides data necessary to monitor growth of the biodiesel industry in order to allow Congress to assess whether objectives of Section 503 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and Section 1508 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 are being achieved.
