One-fifth of U.S. renewable diesel and SAF production was exported in 2H25 in Oil & Companies News 09/05/2026 The United States exported nearly 50,000 barrels per day (b/d) of renewable diesel and other biofuels—a category which includes sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)—in the second half of 2025 (2H25), about 20% of the combined production for those fuels. About half of these exports went to Canada, with the rest mostly going to Europe. A year ago, in our March 2025 Petroleum Supply Monthly (PSM), we introduced data on renewable diesel exports. These new data added to our existing renewable diesel data of production, imports, interregional movements, and stock changes to provide a more complete understanding of how much renewable diesel is consumed in different U.S. regions. We generally calculate renewable diesel consumption as refinery and blender net inputs plus product supplied. Refinery and blender net inputs are the volumes that refiners and blenders report that they blended with petroleum distillate. Product supplied is calculated as net production plus imports minus inventory withdrawals, exports, and refinery and blender net inputs. The inclusion of renewable diesel export data allows us to account for volumes that were previously categorized under product supplied, our proxy for consumption. Before we started tracking exports, our estimates for renewable diesel product supplied and, therefore, consumption were considerably higher because they included volumes that were actually exported. Renewable diesel export data are collected by the U.S. Census Bureau under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code 2710.19.4550, which also includes exports of SAF. We currently assume most exports are renewable diesel because of the relatively low volume of U.S. SAF production, which we capture in our Other Biofuels category. The inclusion of SAF in the code means we incidentally include exports of SAF under the renewable diesel category instead of under the Other B
