RINs for RNG.

§ 80.125 RINs for RNG.

(a) General requirements. (1) Any party that generates, assigns, transfers, receives, separates, or retires RINs for RNG must comply with the requirements of this section.

(2) Any party that transacts RINs for RNG under this section must transact the RINs as specified in § 80.1452.

(b) RIN generation. (1) Only RNG producers may generate RINs for RNG injected into a natural gas commercial pipeline system.

(2) RNG producers must generate RINs for only the biomethane content of biogas supplied by a biogas producer registered under § 80.135.

(3) RNG producers must generate RINs using the applicable requirements for RIN generation in § 80.1426.

(4) If non-renewable components are blended into RNG, the RNG producer must generate RINs for only the biomethane content of the RNG prior to blending.

(5) RNG producers must use the measurement procedures specified in § 80.155 to determine the heating value of RNG for the generation of RINs.

(6) The number of RINs generated for a batch volume of RNG under each batch pathway must be calculated as follows:

Where: RINRNG,p = The number of RINs generated for a batch of RNG under batch pathway p, in gallon-RINs. VRNG,p = The batch volume of RNG for batch pathway p, in Btu LHV, per § 80.110(j)(4). EqVRNG = The equivalence value for RNG, in Btu LHV per RIN, per § 80.1415(b)(5).
