The U.S. EPA on March 21 released updated renewable identification number (RIN) data, reporting that nearly 2.02 billion RINs were generated under the Renewable Fuel Standard in February, up from 1.91 billion generated the previous month and 1.76 billion generated in February of last year. Total RIN generation for the first two months of 2024 reached 3.92 billion, up from 3.48 billion generated during the same period of 2023.Nearly 62.29 million D3 cellulosic biofuel RINs were generated in February, including 55.66 million generated for compressed renewable natural gas (RNG) by domestic producers, 3.35 million generated for liquefied RNG by importers, 2.48 million generated for liquefied RNG by domestic producers, 658,357 generated for compressed RNG by importers, and 145,024 generated for cellulosic ethanol by domestic producers.&nbsp;Total D3 RIN generation for the first two months of the year reached 69.5 million. That volume includes 62.14 million generated for compressed RNG by domestic producers, 3.35 million generated for liquefied RNG by importers, 2.98 million generated for liquefied RNG by domestic producers, 658,357 generated for compressed RNG by importers, and 365,824 generated for cellulosic ethanol by domestic producers.&nbsp;Nearly 732.45 million D4 biomass-based diesel RINs were generated in February, including 373.57 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by domestic producers, 187.75 million generated for biodiesel by domestic producers, 95.56 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by foreign entities, 73.4 million generated for biodiesel by importers, 2.01 million generated for renewable jet fuel by domestic producers, and 157,995 generated for renewable heating oil by domestic producers.&nbsp;Total D4 RIN generation for the first two months of 2024 reached 1.41 billion. That volume includes 751.25 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by domestic producers, 368.79 million generated for biodiesel by domestic producers, 136.76 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by foreign entities, 133.27 million generated for biodiesel by importers, 14.12 million generated for renewable jet fuel by foreign entities, 3.34 million generated for renewable jet fuel by domestic producers, and 157,995 generated for renewable heating oil by domestic producers.&nbsp;Approximately 15.24 million D5 advanced biofuel RINs were generated in February, including 6.85 million generated for naphtha by domestic producers, 5.55 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by domestic producers, 2.45 million generated for ethanol by domestic producers, 322,132 generated for LPG by domestic producers, and 65,859 generated for compressed RNG by domestic producers.&nbsp;Total D5 RIN generation for the first two months of 2023 reached 33.28 million. That volume includes 14.4 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by domestic producers, 12.49 million generated for naphtha by domestic producers, 4.99 million generated for ethanol by domestic producers, 1.01 million generated for renewable heating oil by domestic producers, 322,132 generated for LPG by domestic producers, and 65,859 generated for compressed RNG by domestic producers.Nearly 1.21 billion D6 renewable fuel RINs were generated in February, including 1.2 billion generated for ethanol by domestic producers, 2.29 million generated for biodiesel by importers, 1.08 million generated for ethanol by importers, and 970,213 generated for biodiesel by domestic producers.&nbsp;Total D6 RIN generation for the first two months of 2024 reached more than 2.41 billion. That volume includes nearly 2.41 billion generated for ethanol by domestic producers, 2.6 million generated for biodiesel by domestic producers, 2.29 million generated for biodiesel by importers, and 2.2 million generated for ethanol by importers.&nbsp;No D7 cellulosic diesel RINs were generated in February. Total D7 RIN generation for the first two months of the year was at 60,218, all of which were generated for cellulosic heating oil by importers.&nbsp;&nbsp;
