Falling Demand has Glycerin Prices Unchanged Despite Chevron Idling Two Plants

The excitement that had seemingly begun swirling in the glycerin market several weeks back has apparently faded or at least paused. Pricing is flat to slightly lower to begin the week.

January domestic biodiesel production was 10 percent below December production, reducing the supply of glycerin in the market. While February’s domestic production is not currently known, it is suspected to be lower once again.
