The U.S. EPA on Dec. 19 released data showing that 2.03 billion renewable identification numbers (RINs) were generated under the Renewable Fuel Standard in November, up from 2.01 billion generated during the same month of last year. Nearly 22.9 billion RINs were generated during the first 11 months of 2024, up from 21.59 billion generated during the same period of 2023.Nearly 88.94 million D3 cellulosic biofuel RINs were generated in November, including 72.75 million generated for compressed renewable natural gas (RNG) by domestic producers, 6.76 million generated for cellulosic ethanol by domestic producers, 5.3 million generated for liquefied RNG by domestic producers, 1.99 million generated for liquefied RNG by importers, 1.93 million generated for compressed RNG by domestic producers, and 212,171 generated for RNG by domestic producers.&nbsp;Total D3 RIN generation for the first 11 months of the year reached 828.64 million. That volume includes 721.34 million generated for compressed RNG by domestic producers, 34.64 million generated for liquefied RNG by domestic producers, 33.89 million generated for cellulosic ethanol by domestic producers, 32.59 million generated for liquefied RNG by importers, 5.82 million generated for compressed RNG by importers, and 367,302 generated for RNG by domestic producers.&nbsp;Approximately 732.17 million D4 biomass-based diesel RINs were generated in November, including 427.86 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by domestic producers, 199.61 million generated for biodiesel by domestic producers, &nbsp;50.73 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by importers, 34.46 million generated for biodiesel by importers, 13.66 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by foreign entities, 3.82 million generated for renewable jet fuel by domestic producers and 2.03 million generated for renewable jet fuel by foreign entities.&nbsp;Total D4 RIN generation for the first 11 months of 2024 reached 8.26 billion. That volume includes 4.65 billion generated for nonester renewable diesel by domestic producers, 2.23 billion generated for biodiesel by domestic producers, 549.99 million generated for biodiesel by importers, 526.27 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by foreign entities, 132.28 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by importers, 111.59 million generated for renewable jet fuel by foreign entities, &nbsp;58.42 million generated for renewable jet fuel by domestic producers, and 157,995 generated for renewable heating oil by domestic producers.Nearly 18.88 million D5 advanced biofuel RINs were generated in November, including 10.43 million generated for naphtha by domestic producers, 5.26 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by domestic producers, 2.5 million generated for ethanol by domestic producers, 508,880 generated for renewable heating oil by domestic producers, and 166,766 generated for compressed RNG by domestic producers.&nbsp;Total D5 RIN generation for the first 11 months of the year reached 209.21 million. That volume includes 96.27 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by domestic producers, 81.03 million generated for naphtha by domestic producers, 25.92 million generated for ethanol by domestic producers, 3.96 million generated for renewable heating oil by domestic producers, 1.04 million generated for compressed RNG by domestic producers, and 991,034 generated for LPG by domestic producers.&nbsp;More than 1.19 billion D6 renewable fuel RINs were generated in November, nearly all for ethanol by domestic producers. Nearly 1.12 million D6 RINs were generated for ethanol by importers and 173,721 were generated for biodiesel by domestic producers.&nbsp;Total D6 RIN generation for the first 11 months of 2024 reached 13.6 billion. That volume includes 13.56 billion generated for ethanol by domestic producers, 13.24 million generated for ethanol by importers, 13.11 million generated for biodiesel by domestic producers, 9.35 million generated for biodiesel by importers, 3.93 million generated for renewable gasoline by domestic producers, 250,191 generated for renewable diesel by domestic producers, and 64,809 generated for renewable jet fuel by domestic producers.According to EPA, 37,211 D7 cellulosic diesel RINs were generated in November, all for cellulosic heating oil by importers. Total D7 RIN generation for the first 11 months of the year reached 265,175, all of which were generated for cellulosic heating oil by importers.&nbsp;
