Can a gallon of ethanol generate more than 1.0 RIN in RFS2?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The number of RINs that can be generated for each gallon of renewable fuel are determined by the Equivalence Values. See 80.1415 and 80.1426(f)(2)-(6). Equivalence Values are based on energy content in the renewable fuel in comparison to…

If I produce biodiesel using waste vegetable oil, can I generate more RINs per gallon than if I use virgin soy oil? Would the use of solar panels as a heat source for our process help with our RIN number per gallon?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The number of RINs that can be generated for each gallon of renewable fuel is determined by the Equivalence Values. See regulations at 80.1415(b) and 8.1426(f)(2)(i), for example. Equivalence Values are based on energy content in the renewable…

What is the operational tolerance for denaturant in ethanol to meet the definition of Renewable Fuel? The RFS2 definition calls for a maximum of 2% denaturant. What if the lab results come back higher or lower than 2%? For example, what if the lab results
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The definition of renewable fuel in 80.1401 specifies that the maximum amount of denaturant in ethanol that can be treated as renewable fuel is 2 volume percent. If lab results indicate that the concentration of denaturant is higher…

What is the purpose of a cellulosic biofuel waiver credit?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Under EISA, EPA is required to make cellulosic biofuel waiver credits available for years where we waive some portion of the statutory volume for cellulosic biofuel. These credits can then be used by obligated parties to comply with…

Could you please expand upon the definition of the cellulosic biofuel waiver credit that may be for sale? I am not certain when, or if, a paper or pulp company could obtain a waiver credit or benefit from selling a waiver credit?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Cellulosic biofuel waiver credits may only be purchased by obligated parties (e.g., gasoline and diesel fuel refiners and importers) from EPA. See section 80.1456(c).

If a producer is able to change its D code, can it make retroactive changes in the D code of the RINs it has issued previously during the year or earlier if the production during the previous period would meet the newly classified D code criteria?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Once a RIN is generated and transferred to another party, it cannot be changed. Thus, retroactive changes to D codes in RINs are not allowed.

Does ethanol derived from cellulosic feedstock or sugar have the same Equivalence Value as ethanol derived form corn starch, i.e. 1.0?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Yes. Equivalence Values are based on energy content in the fuel, adjusted for renewable content in comparison to denatured ethanol. See 80.1415(c). Ethanol from starch, sugar, and cellulose is all chemically identical, and is all 100% renewable (none…

Will cleaning the creeks be the last action taken at Sulphur Run and Leslie Run?
EPA’s Order requires detailed identification (characterization) of contamination in Sulphur Run and Leslie Run. The stream characterization will include surface water and sediment testing for contaminants of concern including vinyl chloride and butyl acrylate. This stream characterization will find any areas of remaining contamination and inform the next steps for…

Can ethanol produced from sugarcane molasses through a fermentation process in a mixed sugar/ethanol mill generate D-Code 5 RINs under the existing pathway in Table 1 to §80.1426 for ethanol produced from sugarcane through the fermentation process?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Yes, ethanol produced from sugarcane molasses through the fermentation process can generate D-Code 5 RINs under the RFS program. There are generally three types of sugarcane ethanol production mills: (1) Dedicated mills using all the sugarcane juice to…
