US produced 112 million gallons of biodiesel in June

In June this year, 112 million gallons of biodiesel were produced throughout the US, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports, with a year-to-date production of 557 million gallons through the first six months of the year.

Biodiesel is classified under the EPA's biomass-based diesel category in the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The 117.5 million gallons of biomass-based diesel that was produced throughout June also includes renewable diesel.

Last year, the biodiesel industry set a new production record of nearly 1.1 billion gallons of biodiesel.
