May I generate RINs that I produced and sold for non-road use in the past so that I can reinstate those RINs under RFS2?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Section 80.1426(c)(2) provides that RINs are assigned to a volume of renewable fuel when ownership of the RIN is transferred along with ownership of the volume of renewable fuel. A comparable provision appear in the RFS1 regulations, at…
