U.S. Biofuels Production Capacity Growth Slowed in 2024
The pace of capacity additions for U.S. biofuel production slowed in 2024, with production capacity increasing by a modest 3% from the start of 2024 to the start of 2025, according to the EIA's latest biofuels production capacity reports.
A deceleration in production capacity in the category of renewable diesel and other biofuels accounted for most of the slowdown in growth. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable naphtha, and renewable propane make up virtually all of the other biofuels.
- Renewable diesel and other biofuels production capacity increased just 391 million gallons per year (gal/y) in 2024.
- This growth is less than one-third of the growth observed in 2022 and 2023.
In 2024, only two capacity additions came online, both in California:
- Phillips 66’s conversion of its Rodeo refinery to exclusively produce biofuels
- The new Renewable Fuels LLC plant in Bakersfield
