Monthly Biodiesel Production Report Summary - April 2018

Core Content Overview

This report presents data on U.S. biodiesel production, sales, and feedstock usage for April 2018, as well as historical data from 2016 and 2017. It is prepared by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) in accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005, specifically section 1508, which mandates the publication of renewable fuel data. The data are sourced from the EIA-22M Monthly Biodiesel Production Survey, which collects information from registered biodiesel producers.
