That volume includes 953.29 million generated for RNG by domestic producers, 76.28 million generated for cellulosic ethanol by domestic producers, 36.39 million generated for RNG by importers, and 2.51 million generated for compressed RNG by domestic producers.Approximately 602.79 million D4 biomass-based diesel RINs were generated in November, including 388.22 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by domestic producers, 130.45 million generated for biodiesel by domestic producers, 53.72 million generated for renewable jet fuel by domestic producers, 21.5 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by importers, and 8.91 million generated for biodiesel by importers.&nbsp;Total D4 RIN generation for the first 11 months of the year reached 6.45 billion, down 22% when compared to the same period of last year. That volume includes 4.35 billion generated for nonester renewable diesel by domestic producers, 1.54 billion generated for biodiesel by domestic producers, 313.37 million generated for renewable jet fuel by domestic producers, 108.18 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by importers, 65.98 million generated for renewable jet fuel by foreign entities, 45.28 million generated for biodiesel by importers, and 27.56 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by foreign entities.Nearly 27.21 million D5 advanced biofuel RINs were generated in November, including 16.01 million generated for naphtha by domestic producers, 6.86 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by domestic producers, 2.7 million generated for ethanol by domestic producers, 939,308 generated for LPG by domestic producers, and 699,183 generated for renewable heating oil by domestic producers.&nbsp;Total D5 RIN generation for the first 11 months of 2025 reached 251.75 million, up 16% when compared to the same period of 2024. That volume includes 131.38 million generated for naphtha by domestic producers, 67.07 million generated for nonester renewable diesel by domestic producers, 46.3 million generated for ethanol by domestic producers, 3.62 million generated for renewable heating oil by domestic producers, 2.56 million generated for LPG by domestic producers, 483,793 generated for compressed RNG by domestic producers, and 347,055 generated for RNG by domestic producers.&nbsp;Neary 1.14 billion D6 renewable fuel RINs were generated in November, nearly all for ethanol by domestic producers, with 1.11 million generated for ethanol by importers.&nbsp;Total D6 RIN generation for the first 11 months of the year reached 13.34 billion, down 2% when compared to the same period of last year. That volume includes 13.33 billion generated for ethanol by domestic producers, 12.86 million generated for ethanol by importers, and 153,911 generated for biodiesel by domestic producers.No D7 cellulosic diesel RINs were generated in November. Total D7 RIN generation for the first 11 months of 2025 reached 230,765, all of which were generated for cellulosic heating &nbsp;oil by importers. D7 RIN generation for the first 11 months of 2025 was down 13% when compared to the same period of last year.
