Renewable fuel plant statistics, supply and disposition, monthly — AI AnalysisStatistics Canada's Table 25100082 tracks monthly renewable fuel plant activity across Canada from January 2020 to December 2025, covering 10 product types and 7 supply/disposition categories across 3,600 valid data points. The dataset is strongly right-skewed — with a mean of 71,745 versus a medianKey Findings

The dataset spans 72 monthly periods (January 2020 – December 2025), containing 3,600 valid data points across 53 unique product × supply/disposition time-series combinations.

Receipts and Inputs dominate the supply chain with the highest average monthly values (~199,212 and ~197,851 respectively), while Losses and Adjustments are negligible at a mean of just 87.

Production and Shipments are nearly equal in both mean (~105,400) and median (~114,000), indicating a tightly balanced flow between renewable fuel production and distribution.

The distribution is strongly right-skewed — the mean (71,745) is more than 3× the median (20,127) — with an IQR of 108,492 reflecting high variability across product types and time periods.

290 data points (about 8% of records) carry negative values, all attributable to the 'Losses and Adjustments' category, with the most extreme negative value of -5,890 recorded in May 2020, possibly linked to COVID-19 disruptions.
