Advantages of Argus renewable diesel price assessments
With constraints on ethanol blending and technology for cellulosic fuels, RD is expected to have the highest growth prospects of any renewable fuel in the short to medium term. U.S. production capacity for renewable diesel could more than double from current levels by the end of 2027. Between 2011 and 2021, consumption grew from 1 million barrels to 28 million barrels per year, over 18 times its original volume. If all announced/planned projects are executed, capacity is expected to rise to 373 KB/d.
With this anticipated growth over the coming years, it is critical to ensure fair and reflective values are provided for market participants. This is provided by Argus renewable diesel price assessments as they are underpinned by actual physical bids and offers. This means Argus renewable diesel prices indicate the market value for renewable diesel producers and sellers, but also signal to buyers the most competitive values at which to procure renewable diesel.
In addition, Argus has a wide contact base that spans renewable diesel producers, sellers, traders, brokers and end-users - helping Argus stay up to date with the latest market developments and to fully understand the demand and supply fundamentals that drive the renewable diesel market and price levels.
