Soybean oil is the most abundant feedstock in the U.S. at roughly 25 billion pounds per year produced, or 3.3 billion gallons (and increasing). About a third of all soybean oil produced in the U.S. is used for biofuel purposes. The remaining amount is used for Food, Feed and other industrial. Other fats, oils and greases are also used to produce biofuel including animal fats, used cooking oil, yellow grease, brown grease and new/emerging cover crop oils. The new Renewable Volume Obligations (RVO’s) and 45Z regulations that are set to take effect will create significant demand for all domestic fats, oils and greases.
