Today, the EPA released final RFS volumes for the periods 2014 – 2017. A welcomed relief, these volumes are higher than earlier proposed volumes for biodiesel and should be good for spurring on biodiesel demand. The D4 Biomass-based Diesel volumes are as follows:
2014 – 1.63 billion gallons
2015 – 1.73 billion gallons
2016 – 1.90 billion gallons
2017 – 2.00 billion gallons
Also included are the D5 Advanced Biofuel volumes which also increased:
2014 – 2.67 billion gallons
2015 – 2.88 billion gallons
2016 – 3.61 billion gallons
