再评估美国生物质柴油原料需求增量的问题

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The total demand for biomass diesel in the US shows an increasing trend, with stable demand in the early stage and growth in the later stage. From 2026 to 2027, compared with 2024, the demand will increase by 13.28% and 18.33% respectively, and the total raw material demand will increase by 232 and 320 million tons respectively [1][8] - The growth in demand for biomass diesel will lead to an increase in the use of North American rapeseed oil and soybean oil, and the North American market will be stronger than overseas markets [1][2] - The actual production performance needs to be monitored to dynamically evaluate the impact of RIN obligations set by the EPA for 2026 and 2027 [9] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Biomass Diesel Obligation and Demand Trends - The biomass diesel obligation volumes in 2026 and 2027 are 5610 and 5860 million gallons respectively. Compared with the 4952 million gallons (domestic production + net imports) in 2024, they will increase by 13.28% and 18.33% respectively [8] - The total raw material demand in 2026 and 2027 will increase by 232 and 320 million tons respectively compared with 2024 [8] 2. Raw Material Sources and Substitution - In 2024, vegetable oils were mainly sourced from North American local raw materials, while animal fats and yellow greases also had raw materials from other regions. The total raw materials from other regions for beef tallow and yellow greases were 286 million tons [1][2] - Assuming that non - North American and imported raw materials are replaced by North American local raw materials, the demand in 2024 is estimated to be 319 million tons, accounting for nearly 40% of the edible demand [7] 3. Import and Export of Biomass Diesel and Raw Material Conversion - In 2024, the net imports of biodiesel + renewable diesel in the US converted into total raw materials were 33 million tons [5] - The net imports of biodiesel and renewable diesel in 2024 were 89 and - 55 million tons respectively, with a total net import of 33 million tons [5] 4. Consumption of Vegetable Oils - The industrial and edible consumption of rapeseed oil and soybean oil in the US from 2022/2023 to 2025/2026 is provided, and the total edible consumption of rapeseed oil and soybean oil is in the range of 8406 - 8669 million tons [8]
