RFS2: Understanding Challenges & Opportunities in the Final Rules February 23 Webinar

Major changes to the RFS2 rule include:

  • A mammoth increase in the biofuels blending mandate.
  • The creation of four distinct market niches for different types of ethanol and biodiesel, quadrupling the regulatory burden on obligated parties.
  • Adjustments to the Renewable Identification Number (RIN) system that can leave stakeholders at risk for fines of over $37,500/day if they fail to comply with the complex tracking and record-keeping requirements.

Set aside 90-minutes to hear industry experts inform you of the steps needed to ensure you are complying with the new set of RFS2 rules, including:

  • How EPA intends to enforce controversial new ILUC regs and what that means for domestic and foreign ethanol production.
  • An explanation of the “carve-outs” for corn-ethanol, biodiesel, advanced biofuel and cellulosic ethanol.
  • New producer registration requirements.
  • New blending volume mandates and their likely impact on price.
  • Sweeping changes to the RIN system including alterations to the way these credits are valued and traded.
  • New ways for producers to participate in the RIN trading system.
  • How to get ready for an EPA RINs audit.
  • Changes to reporting forms for quarterly statements and yearly attestations.
  • How to avoid duplicate or invalid RINs.
  • When and how EPA might invoke its special powers to halt or alter RFS2 blending mandates.    READ MORE
