The US glycerin market remained rangebound in the week to Tuesday September 17, with prices for 80% crude and kosher crude glycerin steady to slightly higher. Biodiesel producers are unwilling to commit to production amid economic and policy uncertainty, leaving questions about glycerin supply as the market heads into the fourth quarter.
One producer said they are not having trouble selling crude glycerin at 11-12 cents per lb this week, up from 8 cents per lb a few weeks earlier.
Crude glycerin buyers have been looking to lock in fourth-quarter volumes, but they are being met with resistance from producers who are unable to commit to extended volumes due to poor economics and a lack of policy directives regarding the 45Z producer tax credit.
