EPA’s Renewable Fuels Standard has undergone massive changes that will impact refiners, blenders, importers, traders and marketers in profound ways.
Major changes to the RFS2 rule include:
- A mammoth increase in the biofuels blending mandate.
- The creation of four distinct market niches for different types of ethanol and biodiesel, quadrupling the regulatory burden on obligated parties.
- Adjustments to the Renewable Identification Number (RIN) system that can leave stakeholders at risk for fines of over $37,500/day if they fail to comply with the complex tracking and record-keeping requirements.
Our expert speakers will inform you of the steps you need to take to ensure you are complying with the new set of RFS2 rules, including:
- How EPA intends to enforce controversial new ILUC regs and what that means for domestic and foreign ethanol production.
- An explanation of the “carve-outs” for corn-ethanol, biodiesel, advanced biofuel and cellulosic ethanol.
- New producer registration requirements.
- New blending volume mandates and their likely impact on price.
- Sweeping changes to the RIN system including alterations to the way these credits are valued and traded.
- New ways for producers to participate in the RIN trading system.
- How to get ready for an EPA RINs audit.
- Changes to reporting forms for quarterly statements and yearly attestations.
- How to avoid duplicate or invalid RINs.
- When and how EPA might invoke its special powers to halt or alter RFS2 blending mandates.
