As of March 26, 2025, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) found that a small but increasing amount of biodiesel in the US is consumed in the residential, commercial, and electric power sectors. [1] Previously, all US biodiesel consumption was allocated to the transportation sector, where a vast majority is consumed. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel produced using fats, oils, or greases usually blended with petroleum diesel and consumed by trucks. In 2023, the transportation sector accounted for about 95% of the 46 million barrels of biodiesel consumed in the United States. Biodiesel can also be blended with heating oil to heat homes and businesses. Residential and commercial sectors combined accounted for nearly 5% of US total biodiesel consumption in 2023, up from about 1% a decade before. The introduction of biofuel blending mandates for heating oil in some northeastern states is contributing to this growth.
