The EIA’s biodiesel outlook edged higher from the July forecast. Gasoline consumption was also expected to rise, along with ethanol consumption.
The EIA trimmed their 2024 RD production forecast from 212,000 barrels per day to 206,000 bpd, reaching the lowest 2024 projection on record. The 2025 production outlook fell from 256,000 bpd to 244,000 bpd, also reaching a recorded low.
