| 1Total vegetable oil and other biomass inputs to the production of biodiesel. |
7Derived from the preliminary 2009 stocks value (506 thousand barrels), not the final 2009 value (711
thousand barrels) that is shown under "Stocks." |
2Losses and co-products from the production of biodiesel. Does not include natural gas, electricity, and
other non-biomass energy used in the production of biodiesel—these are included in the industrial sector
consumption statistics for the appropriate energy source. |
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu. |
| 3Net imports equal imports minus exports. |
Notes: · Biodiesel data in thousand barrels are converted to million gallons by multiplying by 0.042, and
are converted to Btu by multiplying by 5.359 million Btu per barrel (the approximate heat content of
biodiesel—see Table A3). · Through 2000, data are not available. Beginning in 2001, data not from U.S.
Energy Information Administration (EIA) surveys are estimates. · Totals may not equal sum of
components due to independent rounding. |
| 4Stocks are at end of year. |

information. |
| 5A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks and a positive value indicates an increase. |
Sources: Feedstock: Calculated as biodiesel production in thousand barrels multiplied by 5.433 million
Btu per barrel (the biodiesel feedstock factor—see Table A3). Losses and Co-products: Calculated as
biodiesel feedstock minus biodiesel production. Production: · 2001-2005—U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Commodity Credit Corporation, Bioenergy Program records. Annual data are derived from
quarterly data. · 2006—U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, "M311K - Fats and Oils:
Production, Consumption, and Stocks," data for soybean oil consumed in methyl esters (biodiesel). In
addition, EIA estimates that 14.4 million gallons of yellow grease were consumed in methyl esters
(biodiesel). · 2007—U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, "M311K - Fats and Oils:
Production, Consumption, and Stocks," data for all fats and oils consumed in methyl esters (biodiesel).
· 2008 and 2009—EIA, Monthly Biodiesel Production Report, December 2009 (release date October
2010), Table 11. · 2010—U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, "M311K - Fats and Oils:
Production, Consumption, and Stocks," data for all fats and oils consumed in methyl esters (biodiesel).
Trade: U.S. Department of Agriculture, imports data for Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes 3824.90.40.20,
"Fatty Esters Animal/Vegetable/Mixture" (for data through June 2010), and 3824.90.40.30,
"Biodiesel/Mixes" (for data beginning in July 2010); and exports data for Schedule B code 3824.90.40.00,
"Fatty Substances Animal/Vegetable/Mixture." Although these categories include products other than
biodiesel (such as those destined for soaps, cosmetics, and other items), biodiesel is the largest
component. In the absence of other reliable data for biodiesel trade, EIA sees these data as good
estimates. Stocks and Stock Change: · 2009—EIA, Petroleum Supply Annual, annual reports, Table 1,
data for renewable fuels except fuel ethanol. · 2010—EIA, Petroleum Supply Monthly (PSM), monthly
reports, Table 1, data for renewable fuels except fuel ethanol. Balancing Item: · 2009 and
2010—Calculated as biodiesel consumption and biodiesel stock change minus biodiesel production and
biodiesel net imports. Consumption: · 2001-2008—Calculated as biodiesel production plus biodiesel net
imports. · 2009—Calculated as the sum of the monthly consumption data. Data for January and February
2009 are from EIA, PSM, monthly reports, Table 1, refinery and blender net inputs of renewable fuels
except fuel ethanol. Data for March-December 2009 are calculated as biodiesel production plus biodiesel
net imports minus biodiesel stock change. · 2010—Calculated as biodiesel production plus biodiesel net
imports minus biodiesel stock change. |
6Beginning in 2009, because of incomplete data coverage and different data sources, "Balancing Item"
is used to balance biodiesel supply and disposition. |
