NEW YORK — The United States generated
more renewable fuel blending credits in October versus the prior
month, data from the Environmental Protection Agency showed on
Thursday.
About 1.2 billion ethanol (D6) blending credits were
generated in October, versus 1.16 billion in September,
according to the data.
About 420 million biodiesel (D4) blending credits were
generated last month, up from 385 million the month prior.
The credits are used by oil refiners and importers to show
compliance with EPA-mandated ethanol blending quotas for
petroleum-based fuels. They are generated with every gallon of
biofuel produced.
The following is a table of the credit generation for the
month of October by credit type.
