Fuel Ethanol Production Capacity measures estimated thousands of barrels of fuel alcohol that a plant is capable of producing in one day.
Biodiesel Production Capacity measures estimated thousands of barrels of biodiesel that a plant is capable of producing in one day. Renewable Diesel Fuel and Other Biofuels Production Capacity measures estimated thousands of barrels of renewable diesel fuel, renewable heating oil, renewable jet fuel, renewable naphtha and gasoline, and other biofuels (excluding fuel ethanol and biodiesel) and biointermediates that a plant is capable of producing in one day. Note: Total may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. Includes refineries co-processing renewable feedstock and petroleum.
