Monthly Biodiesel Production Report Summary (March 2018)

Core Content Overview

This report provides a detailed summary of U.S. biodiesel production, sales, and feedstock usage for March 2018, as well as historical data for 2016 and 2017. The data is sourced from the EIA-22M Monthly Biodiesel Production Survey, which collects information from registered biodiesel producers to monitor industry growth and meet legislative requirements under the Energy Policy Acts of 1992 and 2005.

Highlights of March 2018

• Production: U.S. biodiesel production reached 147 million gallons in March 2018, an increase of 21 million gallons from February 2018.
• Regional Production: The Midwest region (PADD 2) accounted for 67% of the U.S. total production.
• Producers: Data from 95 biodiesel plants with a combined annual production capacity of 2,414 million gallons.
• Sales:
  • 54 million gallons of B100 (pure biodiesel) were sold directly.
  • An additional 90 million gallons of B100 were sold in biodiesel blends.
• Feedstocks: A total of 1,116 million pounds of feedstocks were used in March 2018, with soybean oil being the largest contributor at 624 million pounds.

Background

The Monthly Biodiesel Production Report is a requirement under Section 1508 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which mandates the EIA to publish information on renewable fuels. The report includes data at the national level and by state and region.

• The EIA-22M survey collects data on:
  • Plant location and operating status.
  • B100 production and sales.
  • Coproducts and stocks.
  • Feedstock, alcohol, and catalyst usage.
• The report is used by Congress to assess progress toward the goals of the Energy Policy Acts.
