This chart shows trends in U.S. biodiesel production, exports, and consumption from 2001 to 2020. Exports of biodiesel peaked in 2008 primarily because of an unintended effect of a biodiesel tax credit in the European Union. Exports then dropped after the effect was eliminated. The increased production and consumption from 2011 onward is largely driven by the Renewable Fuel Standard. The net export of biodiesel changed from positive to negative in 2013, showing that the quantity of biodiesel imported exceeded the quantity exported. The growth of net exports since 2013 is likely from the continued effort of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and expanding regulations.
