Downey Ridge Environmental Co. (Greasezilla) and bp on Oct. 1 announced a groundbreaking agreement that will enable the capture and extraction of brown grease waste as a feedstock for biofuel production.
U.S. ethanol capacity expanded in July, while renewable diesel capacity fell and biodiesel capacity held steady, according to data released by the EIA on Sept. 30. Feedstock consumption was up when compared to both the previous month and July 2023.
The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service released its latest Grain Stocks report on Sept. 30, reporting that old crop soybeans stored in all positions totaled 342 million bushels as of Sept 1, up 29% when compared to the same time last year.
Strategic Biofuels has published a free resource, “A Practical Guide to Forestry Feedstock Under the Renewable Fuel Standard.” The guide is the result of the work completed as part of a cooperative agreement signed with the U.S. Forest Service.
The RFA has asked the U.S. EPA for an update on the agency’s investigation of certain biofuel feedstock imports and is urging the adoption of more stringent feedstock verification requirements for imported used cooking oil and tallow.
