September interregional shipments of biodiesel to the West Coast were down, while flows of renewable diesel (RD) to the region reached a six-month high, monthly data released on November 27 from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) showed.
Although increased volumes have been shipped to the East Coast in 2024, the West Coast consumes most of the US’s RD because California, Oregon and Washington are the only states that have clean fuel programs that incentivize its use.
In September, West Coast RD shipments via rail and barge totaled 3.362 million barrels, up from 3.00 million barrels in August. This was the largest monthly shipment of RD to the West Coast this year.
RD is shipped to the West Coast via rail from the Gulf Coast, Midwest and Rocky Mountains.
