Soybean oil used to produce biofuels in the U.S. fell to 1.197 billion lbs. in August, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), down from a record 1.273 billion lbs. in July. Of that total, 618 million lbs. were used for biodiesel and 580 million lbs. for renewable diesel. However, that marked the fourth month in a row with soyoil use for biofuels production above 1.0 billion lbs., a level which hadn’t been eclipsed before May.
