Biodiesel
Biodiesel means the monoalkyl esters of long-chain fatty
acids derived from plant or animal matter that meet the
registration requirements for fuels and fuel additives
established by the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) under section 211 of the Clean Air Act, and the
requirements of the American Society of Testing and
Materials (ASTM) D6751.
Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Mixture Credits
The biodiesel or renewable diesel reported on lines 4
through 6 must be used to make a qualified mixture. A
qualified mixture combines biodiesel or renewable diesel
with diesel fuel (defined below), determined without
regard to any use of kerosene. However, treat the
kerosene as diesel fuel when figuring a renewable diesel
mixture credit for certain aviation fuel (see Renewable
Diesel above). The producer of the mixture either:

trade or business and the credit is available only for the
year the mixture is sold or used. The credit isn’t allowed
for casual off-farm production of a qualified mixture.
Agri-Biodiesel
Agri-biodiesel means biodiesel derived solely from virgin
oils, including esters derived from virgin vegetable oils
from corn, soybeans, sunflower seeds, cottonseeds,
canola, crambe, rapeseeds, safflowers, flaxseeds, rice
bran, mustard seeds, and camelina, and from animal fats.
You may be liable for a 24.4 cents per gallon
excise tax on biodiesel or renewable diesel used

section 211 of the Clean Air Act, and the requirements of
the ASTM D975 or D396, or other equivalent standard
approved by the IRS.

Diesel fuel doesn’t include gasoline, kerosene, excluded
liquid, No. 5 and No. 6 fuel oils covered by ASTM
specification D396, or F-76 (Fuel Naval Distillate) covered
by military specification MIL-F-16884.
An excluded liquid is any liquid that (a) contains less
than 4% normal paraffins; or (b) has a (i) distillation range
of 125 degrees Fahrenheit or less, (ii) sulfur content of 10
parts per million or less, and (iii) minimum color of +27
