 Revisiting Biomass-Based Diesel Feedstock Trends over 2011-2022Maria Gerveni, Scott Irwin and Todd Hubbs farmdoc daily, 2024, vol. 14, issue 12 Abstract: One of the most discussed and debated aspects of the renewable diesel boom is its impact on feedstock markets. In a recent farmdoc daily article (December 11, 2023), we examined feedstock usage trends for FAME biodiesel, which competes with renewable diesel, and found that soybean oil dominated as a feedstock for production of biodiesel. In another recent farmdoc daily article (December 20, 2023), we examined feedstock usage trends for renewable diesel, and found that there has been a dramatic change in the composition of renewable diesel feedstock shares over time, with the share of soybean oil increasing rapidly in recent years. The purpose of today’s article is to investigate feedstock usage trends for biomass-based diesel over 2011 through 2022. Biomass-based diesel feedstock usage for the purpose of this analysis is simply the sum of FAME biodiesel and renewable diesel feedstock usage. The analysis in today’s article updates the biomass-based diesel feedstock usage estimates published in an earlier farmdoc daily article (May 1, 2023). This is the 16th in a series of farmdoc daily articles on the renewable diesel boom (see the complete list of articles here).
