Biodiesel, renewable diesel make up more than half of Oregon’s diesel fuel
Clean Fuels Alliance America is celebrating a milestone in Oregon, where biodiesel and renewable diesel supplied more than half of the state’s diesel market for the first time in the second quarter of 2026.
According to Oregon Clean Fuels Program data, volumes of both fuels increased from the first quarter.
Together, biodiesel and renewable diesel generated more than 65 percent of all credits across the program, underscoring their leading role in reducing transportation emissions.
“Oregon becomes the second state after California to have more than half of its diesel replaced by renewables, showing that this, too, can happen in other states if they invest in a clean-fuel standard,” said Cory-Ann Wind, the director of state regulatory affairs at Clean Fuels.
“The biomass-based diesel industry is poised to continue this trend,” she said.
Oregon’s Clean Fuels Program creates market incentives for fuels with lower lifecycle-carbon emissions.
The latest results showcase how clear, consistent policy can expand the use of biodiesel and renewable diesel and deliver measurable progress in replacing petroleum.
