A recently passed law bringing Washington State’s low-carbon fuel standards in line with California’s, Oregon’s and British Columbia’s, will strengthen demand for Midwestern soybean oil. The law means more biodiesel and renewable diesel will be needed along the West Coast, according to Tom Verry, director of outreach and development at the National Biodiesel Board.
“With Washington coming on-board with the low-carbon fuel standard, we think in five years that’s going to double to 2.5 billion gallons of biodiesel and renewable diesel demand on the West Coast,” Verry told Brownfield Ag News.
