Abstract: One of the most discussed and debated aspects of the renewable diesel boom is its impact on feedstock markets. In several recent farmdoc daily articles (May 1, 2023; December 11, 2023; December 20, 2023; January 17, 2024) we examined feedstock usage trends for FAME biodiesel, renewable diesel, and biomass-based diesel. We defined biomass-based diesel as the sum of FAME and renewable diesel. Our analysis showed there have been dramatic changes in the composition of feedstock shares over time, particularly for renewable diesel. The purpose of today’s article is to update our investigation of feedstock usage trends using recently available data for 2023. This is the 18th in a series of farmdoc daily articles on the renewable diesel boom (see the complete list of articles here).
