How are RINs used to demonstrate compliance?

§ 80.1427 How are RINs used to demonstrate compliance?

(a) Obligated party renewable volume obligations. (1) Except as specified in paragraph (b) of this section or § 80.1456, each party that is an obligated party and is obligated to meet the Renewable Volume Obligations under § 80.1407 must demonstrate pursuant to § 80.1451(a)(1) that it has retired for compliance purposes a sufficient number of RINs to satisfy the following equations:

(i) Cellulosic biofuel.

(∑RINNUM)CB,i + (∑RINNUM)CB,i-1 = RVOCB,i

Where:

(∑RINNUM)CB,i = Sum of all owned gallon-RINs that are valid for use in complying with the cellulosic biofuel RVO, were generated in year i, and are being applied towards the RVOCB,i, in gallons. (∑RINNUM)CB,i-1 = Sum of all owned gallon-RINs that are valid for use in complying with the cellulosic biofuel RVO, were generated in year i-1, and are being applied towards the RVOCB,i, in gallons. RVOCB,i = The Renewable Volume Obligation for cellulosic biofuel for the obligated party for calendar year i, in gallons, pursuant to § 80.1407.

(ii) Biomass-based diesel. Except as provided in paragraph (a)(7) of this section,

(∑RINNUM)BBD,i + (∑RINNUM)BBD,i-1 = RVOBBD,i

Where:

(∑RINNUM)BBD,i = Sum of all owned gallon-RINs that are valid for use in complying with the biomass-based diesel RVO, were generated in year i, and are being applied towards the RVOBBD,i, in gallons. (∑RINNUM)BBD,i-1 = Sum of all owned gallon-RINs that are valid for use in complying with the biomass-based diesel RVO, were generated in year i-1, and are being applied towards the RVOBBD,i, in gallons. RVOBBD,i = The Renewable Volume Obligation for biomass-based diesel for the obligated party for calendar year i after 2010, in gallons, pursuant to § 80.1407.

(iii) Advanced biofuel.

(∑RINNUM)AB,i + (∑RINNUM)AB,i-1 = RVOAB,i

Where:

(∑RINNUM)AB,i = Sum of all owned gallon-RINs that are valid for use in complying with the advanced biofuel RVO, were generated in year i, and are being applied towards the RVOAB,i, in gallons. (∑RINNUM)AB,i-1 = Sum of all owned gallon-RINs that are valid for use in complying with the advanced biofuel RVO, were generated in year i-1, and are being applied towards the RVOAB,i, in gallons. RVOAB,i = The Renewable Volume Obligation for advanced biofuel for the obligated party for calendar year i, in gallons, pursuant to § 80.1407.
