The U.S. exported 16,879.6 metric tons of biodiesel and biodiesel blends of B30 or greater in November, according to data released by the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service on Jan. 7. Biodiesel imports were at 76,519.5 metric tons for the month.
Tidewater Renewables Ltd. has filed a countervailing (anti-subsidy) and anti-dumping duty complaint with the Canada Border Services Agency. The complaint targets unfairly traded imports of renewable diesel from the U.S.
The USDA has appointed 36 members to serve on the newly formed Greenhouse Gas Technical Assistance Provider and Third-Party Verifier Program Advisory Council, informally known as the Growing Climate Solutions Act Advisory Council.
The U.K.’s sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandate officially came into force on Jan. 1. By law, SAF must now account for at least 2% of all jet fuel in flights taking off from the U.K. The mandate is set to expand to 10% in 2030 and 22% in 2040.
Vertex Energy Inc. could be required to retire over 18.7 million RIN by March 31, 2025, to satisfy its 2023 and 2024 RFS blending obligations under a proposed Consent Decree and Environmental Settlement Agreement lodged by the U.S. government.
