MEMORANDUM

Subject: Projection of annual renewable fuel supply in 2015

From: David Korotney, U.S. EPA, Office of Transportation and Air Quality

To: EPA Air Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2015-0111

In order to establish the applicable volume requirements under the Renewable Fuel 

Standard (RFS) program for 2015 by November 30, 2015, the deadline under a consent decree

entered into by the EPA on April 10, 2015, we must estimate the total supply of renewable fuel 

for the full year based on actual supply for part of the year.

1

 In this context, supply means 

renewable fuel for which RINs were generated and which was actually consumed as 

transportation fuel, heating oil, or jet fuel in the continental U.S. plus Hawaii. The primary 

source of data on actual supply of qualifying renewable fuel is the EPA-Moderated Transaction 

System (EMTS), which includes both RINs generated for domestic renewable fuel production 

and imports, and RINs retired for reasons other than for compliance with the applicable 

percentage standards or for compliance with an exporter's obligation. RINs that represent 

renewable fuel actually consumed as transportation fuel, heating oil, or jet fuel are the net result 

of RINs generated minus RINs retired.

Exporters of renewable fuel are required to retire RINs representing the exported 

renewable fuel to ensure that the only RINs available for compliance with the percentage 

standards are those that represent renewable fuel actually consumed in the U.S. However, data 

in EMTS on RINs retired for exports of renewable fuel is not required to be recorded 

immediately upon export, but can be delayed up to 30 days. In order to accurately align RINs 

generated with exports of renewable fuel by month, therefore, we used export data from the 

Census Bureau as a surrogate for RINs retired to represent exported renewable fuel. RIN 

generation and retirement data from EMTS was available for January through September, while 

data on exports of renewable fuel from the Census Bureau was available for January through 

August.

In estimating total supply for 2015, we are not including potential growth that could 

occur in the last 3-4 months of the year under the influence of the RFS volume requirements. 

The 2015 volume requirements will not be established until November 30, 2015, and the market 

will have essentially no time to respond to those final volume requirements. Instead, we are 

estimating the supply that is most likely to occur in the last 3-4 months of 2015 in the absence of 

applicable 2015 volume requirements. To do this, in general we assumed that the monthly 

average supply in the last 3-4 months of 2015 is the same as the monthly supply in the first 8-9 

months of 2015. However, we also examined monthly supply in 2013 and 2014 to determine if 

there is a trend towards higher or lower monthly supply in the last 3-4 months of those years, as 

compared to the first 8-9 months of those years. If there does appear to be a trend, we used this

requires that EPA respond by November 30, 2015 to the plaintiffs’ petition seeking a waiver in part of the 2014 

statutory volume targets.
information to adjust the monthly supply for the last 3-4 months of 2015 up or down as 

appropriate in comparison to monthly supply in the first 8-9 months of 2015.

Overview

 Actual 2015 data was available as follows:

o January through September for RIN generation (from EMTS)

o January through August for renewable fuel exports (from Census Bureau)

 Adjustments were made to 2015 RIN generation to account for spills, enforcement 

actions, fuel used in non-transportation activities, etc. using RIN retirements from 2014

o Since RIN retirements are often recorded in EMTS many months after the events 

occur, using 2015 RIN retirements from EMTS would very likely have 

underestimated actual retirements of 2015 RINs

 To estimate RIN generation and exports for the remaining months of 2015, we examined 

data from 2013 and 2014 to determine if the monthly average at the end of the year might 

be expected to differ from the monthly average at the beginning of the year

 This process was used for biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable 

fuel (cellulosic biofuel for 2015 was projected separately. See Section IV.E of final rule)

Table 1

 Actual 2015 RIN generation data for both domestic production and imported renewable 

fuel for January through September from EMTS

 Estimation of RIN generation for October through December is covered in Tables 4, 5, 

and 8

Tables 2 and 3

 Actual export data for ethanol and biodiesel from Census Bureau

o Conversion factor of 0.301 gallons biodiesel per kilogram is derived from 

biodiesel exports as reported by EIA

o All exported ethanol was assumed to be D6

o All exported biodiesel is assumed to be D4

 Ratio of monthly average for September through December to monthly average for 

January through August shows whether there is an upward or downward trend in monthly 

averages at the end of the year 

Table 4

 Actual 2013 and 2014 RIN generation data for both domestic production and imported 

renewable fuel from EMTS

 Ratio of monthly average for October through December to monthly average for January 

through September shows whether there is an upward or downward trend in monthly 

averages at the end of the year
Table 5

 Determination of factors used to extrapolate 2015 actual RIN generation and exports 

through the end of 2015

 Each factor represents a ratio of monthly averages:

o For RIN generation, ratio represents October through December to January 

through September

o For exports, ratio represents September through December to January through 

August

 Factors for RIN generation are derived from Table 4

 Factors for exports are derived from Table 3

 Factors are used in Table 8 (for RIN generation) and Table 9 (for exports) to determine 

volumes for the full 2015 calendar year

Table 6

 A review of historical RIN retirements in EMTS for purposes other than for compliance

with the applicable % standards indicates that many RINs are retired long after they are 

generated

o Some 2011 RINs were retired in 2013

o Some 2012 RINs were retired in 2015

o See list of all reasons that RINs may be retired in Table 7

 This strongly suggests that many 2015 RINs will be retired in 2016 and later

 Since the actual number of 2015 RINs retired in January through September of 2015 is 

likely to be considerably less than the total number that will eventually be retired, we 

used actual 2014 RIN retirements as a surrogate for expected 2015 RIN retirements

o See Table 7 for 2014 RIN retirements

Table 7

 Details of retirements for 2014 RINs

 Since compliance demonstrations for 2014 have not yet been made, RINs retired for 

annual compliance were ignored

 EMTS records RIN retirements by D code only, not by fuel type

 Estimates of RIN retirements by fuel type were based on a review of comment fields in 

EMTS for RINs retired under the category "Renewable fuel used or designated to be used 

in any application that is not transportation fuel, heating oil, or jet fuel"

Table 8

 Determination of 2015 RIN generation for the full calendar year

o Adjustment factors are from Table 5

o Monthly averages for January through September are from Table 1

o Monthly average Oct - Dec = (Adjustment factor) × (Monthly average Jan - Sept)

o Annual estimate = 9 × (monthly average Jan - Sept)

+ 3 × (monthly average Oct - Dec)
Table 9

 Determination of 2015 exports for the full calendar year

o Adjustment factors are from Table 5

o Monthly averages for January through August are from Table 3

o Monthly average Sept - Dec = (Adjustment factor) × (Monthly average Jan - Aug)

o Annual estimate = 8 × (monthly average Jan - Aug)

+ 4 × (monthly average Sept - Dec)
