Prices for crude glycerin 80% in the US trended higher in the week to Monday October 14, according to industry participants surveyed by Fastmarkets.
A glycerin buyer reported having purchased several railcars for $0.13 per lb on Monday and said that the outlook for glycerin supply in the first quarter of 2025 is uncertain.
A market seller experiencing production delays said that, if production were up, “I could sell all I produced at $0.13 per lb.” Production at this facility is expected to be back online in a couple of days.
