# news: Expansion of US renewable diesel output limited by feedstock constrains

> A Cerulogy report for ICCT finds US renewable diesel expansion may be limited by feedstock availability and weak policy support. The report projects some announced capacity, which could reach over 5 billion gallons by 2024, will be delayed or cancelled.

## Why it matters

Feedstock limits mean less soybean oil demand from renewable diesel than announced capacity implies, which weakens the bullish case for soybean oil and soybeans.
