美豆油市场关注美国众议院通过45Z修订法案

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The passage of the 45Z amendment bill by the US House of Representatives is expected to have a significant impact on the biodiesel and renewable diesel industries, potentially increasing the demand for North American vegetable oil raw materials and supporting the price of CBOT soybean oil [1][2][7] - The restrictions on tax credits for foreign entities may reduce trade volume and overseas raw material demand, while the small refinery exemption policy may have a complex impact on raw material demand in the short and long term [10][18][20] - The future RVO policy in the US is still being determined, and its implementation will affect the total demand for renewable energy, which is also an important factor affecting the price of US soybean oil [17] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Passage of the 45Z Amendment Bill - On May 22, the US House of Representatives passed a reconciliation bill including provisions to update and extend the 45Z clean fuel production tax credit. The bill will now be considered by the Senate [1] 2. Specific Provisions and Their Impacts 2.1 Extension of 45Z Credit - The 45Z credit will be extended to the end of 2031, which is beneficial for the continuous development of the biodiesel and renewable diesel industries and the demand for vegetable oil raw materials [2] 2.2 Raw Material Source Requirement - Raw materials must be produced or grown in the US, Mexico, and Canada, which is expected to increase the demand for North American crops and reduce the import of non - North American raw materials. In 2024, vegetable oil raw materials were mainly from North America, while animal fats and yellow greases still had imports from other regions. The policy may increase the use of canola oil and soybean oil [3][4] 2.3 Adjustment of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculation - The adjustment of the life - cycle greenhouse gas emissions calculation to exclude indirect land - use change emissions is expected to lower the carbon emission coefficient of vegetable oils, allowing for more subsidies. For example, the subsidy for producing renewable diesel with soybean oil is estimated to increase from $0.23 per gallon to $0.52 per gallon, which is beneficial for supporting the price of CBOT soybean oil [7] 2.4 Restrictions on Foreign Entities for Tax Credits - Tax credits for specific foreign entities are restricted. If a taxpayer is a specific foreign entity, no credit will be allowed after the enactment date. For entities affected by foreign influence, no credit will be allowed two years after the enactment date. This may reduce the trade volume of US biodiesel and renewable diesel and affect the demand for overseas raw materials [10][11][13] 3. Demand Performance 3.1 Raw Material Demand in 2025 - From January - February 2025, the total consumption of US biodiesel raw materials decreased by 23.9% year - on - year. Among them, vegetable oil consumption decreased by 31.7%, soybean oil consumption decreased by 33.4%, canola oil consumption decreased by 57.6%, and corn oil consumption remained flat [5] 3.2 Trade Volume in 2025 - From January - March 2025, US biodiesel imports decreased by 90% year - on - year, and exports decreased by 46% year - on - year. From January - February 2025, the net import of US renewable diesel became a net export, mainly to European countries, and the import from Singapore decreased by 94% year - on - year [16] 4. Other Policies to Be Concerned 4.1 RVO Policy - The US 2026 and subsequent RVO policies are still being determined. The market's expected range for the biodiesel RVO varies widely, and the price of US soybean oil has been trading on RVO - related themes. The EPA submitted a proposed rule to the White House Office of Management and Budget on May 14, and subsequent policy implementation needs to be monitored [17] 4.2 Small Refinery Exemption Policy - The news of small refinery exemptions is uncertain. If implemented, it may reduce current demand but increase future demand. The 13.6 billion gallons of exemption volume, when allocated to biodiesel at a 30% - 50% ratio, is expected to result in a total raw material demand range of 148 - 246 million tons. If 100% is used for biodiesel - produced RIN substitution, the total raw material demand is 493 million tons [18][19][20]
