One-fifth of U.S. renewable diesel and SAF production was exported in 2H25
In Washington D.C, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said that the United States exported nearly 50,000 barrels per day (b/d) of renewable diesel and other biofuels—a category which includes sustainable aviation fuels—in the second half of 2025, about 20% of the combined production for those fuels. About half of these exports went to Canada, with the rest mostly going to Europe.
By U.S. region, most renewable diesel exports were shipped from the U.S. Gulf Coast followed by the West Coast, with most of the shipments from both regions going to Europe and some to Canada. The remaining exports departed from the Midwest and Rocky Mountains, with all those volumes going to Canada, according to the agency.
“In the first two months of 2026, exports of renewable diesel and other biofuels averaged less than 35,000 b/d, compared with almost 50,000 b/d in 2H25. The lower exports mostly reflected lower production, as many renewable diesel producers idled capacity as they waited for the release of final blending targets for 2026 under the Renewable Fuel Standard, which were announced on March 27,” the agency said in a release.
