The US produced 132 million gallons of biodiesel in October, a record amount that is 75 percent more than the same month in 2012, according to the latest data released by the US Energy Information Administration.
Production in October 2013 was about 5 million gallons more than in September, according to the EIA data. Some 92 million gallons of the October total was sold as B100, or 100 percent biodiesel. The remaining fuel was sold in biodiesel blends with diesel fuel derived from petroleum, EIA says.
The monthly biodiesel production report provides data on operations of the US biodiesel industry as part of the agency’s adherence to the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which requires EIA to publish information on renewable fuels.
