An Advanced Energy United blog post describes the US biofuels market as driven by the Renewable Fuel Standard, with the EPA expanding volumes by about 1.2 billion gallons for 2016 and 1.17 billion for 2017. It says the new targets are less constrained by the ethanol blend wall, although biofuel revenues have taken a hit.
Higher RFS volumes that are less constrained by the blend wall support continued demand for corn-based ethanol and biodiesel feedstocks. The revenue pressure on producers limits how much additional production capacity will be built.
