03.19.08
High soybean oil prices are having an impact on domestic use of soybean oil for biodiesel production, according to US Census Bureau data.
The Bureau reports that soybean oil use for biodiesel reached about 470 million pounds in August 2007, and then declined for five consecutive months to about 320 million pounds in January 2008.
Soybean oil used for biodiesel production accounted for 23% of total domestic consumption in August, but only 12% in January 2008.
