NEW YORK, Dec 19 (Reuters) - The United States generated fewer renewable blending credits in November versus the month prior, data from the Environmental Protection Agency showed on Thursday.
About 1.19 billion ethanol (D6) blending credits were generated last month, compared with about 1.27 billion in October, the data showed.
Credits generated from biodiesel (D4) blending fell to about 732 million in November from about 784 million in October, according to the data.
The credits are used by oil refiners and importers to show compliance with EPA-mandated renewable blending quotas for petroleum-based fuels. They are generated with every gallon of biofuel produced.
The following is a table of the credit generation for November by credit type.
