-- Weekly retail price for sustainable aviation fuel rose, renewable diesel dropped, and biodiesel remained unchanged, according to price assessments from The Digest.
For the week of Apr. 2-9, biodiesel's Renewable Fuel Standard value of $1.29 per gallon was unchanged from a week ago. Biodiesel's Low Carbon Fuel Standard value of $0.49/gal was unchanged from a week ago. Additionally, the biofuel's tax credit value at $1/gal and energy value of $3.27/gal were unchanged. Biodiesel's retail price of $6.05/gal on Thursday was unchanged from a week ago.
Renewable diesel's retail price of $6.71/gal this week is below $7/gal, down from last week. RD's energy value of $3.93/gal on Thursday was below $4.22/gal from a week ago. RD's RFS value is $1.29/gal, unchanged from a week ago. Its tax credit value at $1/gal was unchanged over the week. RD's LCFS value of $0.49/gal was also unchanged from a week ago.
Ethanol's weekly performance was mixed. Its LCFS value of $0.12/gal, energy value of $0.47/gal, and RFS value of $1.13/gal were unchanged from a week ago. The retail price of $1.72/gal was also unchanged from a week ago.
For sustainable aviation fuel, its energy value at $5.71/gal was above $5.33/gal a week ago. SAF's retail price of $9.03/gal was above $8.65 a week ago. SAF's RFS value was $1.29/gal, unchanged from a week ago. Its LCFS value was $0.49/gal, also unchanged from a week ago, and its tax credit value was unchanged at $1.54/gal.
Note: These values are for delivery into a US market with a clean-fuel standard. Conventional ethanol is modeled at a Carbon Intensity of 70, while RD, SAF, biodiesel, and cellulosic ethanol are modeled at a CI of 20, and green hydrogen at CI -5. Individual companies or processes may have CI scores that are higher or lower than those used to calculate LCFS credits.
