Biodiesel and glycerin prices were holding mostly steady from last week, as market activity has been muted with the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Crude glycerin values continue to hold in the 10 to 11 cents per pound price range, while limited reporting suggests Kosher crude values may be continuing to edge higher.
Biodiesel prices are beginning to see some volatility further down the curve. Most producers are reflecting prices within last week’s regional ranges. However, a few may be trending lower.
