Consumption of renewable diesel continues general growth trend on the U.S. West Coast
Renewable diesel is increasingly replacing petroleum diesel on the U.S. West Coast, where state-level policies are attracting new production capacity and shipments to the region. The fuel continues to mostly be consumed in California but is also making up a substantial share of Oregon's and Washington's smaller distillate pools, according to quarterly data published by California, Oregon, and Washington.
Small volumes of renewable diesel are now consumed on the U.S. East Coast
In 2024, the U.S. East Coast became a consistent destination for small volumes of renewable diesel as a few suppliers and local governments began offering or consuming the fuel. Because no renewable diesel is produced on the East Coast, suppliers and local governments are procuring their supply from a combination of imports and interregional U.S. shipments.
