Ethanol and biodiesel credits advance in May in the US, EPA shows.

The United States expanded the generation of renewable credits for ethanol and biodiesel in May, according to data released on Thursday (18) by United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

According to the report, 1.26 billion D6-type ethanol credits were generated in May, a volume higher than the 1.22 billion recorded in April. D6 credits are issued under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program and are mainly associated with the blending of corn ethanol with gasoline. Meanwhile, D4 credits, linked to the production and blending of biodiesel and renewable diesel, totaled 736 million in May, up from 690 million in the previous month.
