How to Register a New Renewable Fuel Producer for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)
To participate in the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program and generate Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs), renewable fuel producers must meet the registration requirements in Title 40 CFR Part 80. Producers should use this page in conjunction with the regulations, not in lieu of reading the regulations.
Follow these steps to register a renewable fuel producer:
Review the following sections of the regulations to ensure your company can meet the qualifications of RFS:
§80.1401 - Definitions of renewable fuel and renewable biomass
§80.1426 - Approved fuel pathways
§80.1450 - Registration requirements
§80.1451 - Reporting requirements
§80.1454 - Recordkeeping requirements
§80.1464 - Attest engagement requirements
Renewable fuel must meet the following requirements to be registered under RFS:
Fuel meets definition of Renewable Fuel
Feedstock meets definition of Renewable Biomass
Feedstock, process, and fuel meet an approved fuel pathway
For more information on fuel pathways, see: Fuel Pathways
To register to produce renewable fuel from biogas, review these specific regulations to ensure your company can meet the qualifications of RFS:
§80.1426(f)(10)(ii) and (f)(11)(ii) - RIN Generation
§80.1450(b)(1)(v)(D) - Registration
§80.1454(k) - Recordkeeping
Guidance on Biogas used to Produce CNG or LNG under the Renewable Fuel Standard Program(September 2016)
Register your fuel or fuel additive under Title 40 CFR Part 79.
Fuel produced from biogas does not need to be registered under Part 79.
Foreign producers do not need to register under Part 79, but the importers that are importing the fuel into the United States must register under Part 79.
4 Assemble all documents required under §80.1450(b)(1).
5 Obtain an engineering review conducted by a third-party independent professional engineer per §80.1450(b)(2). The engineer must verify and explain how they evaluated the accuracy of all materials assembled by the producer per §80.1450(b)(1).
Read the following guidance on items the engineer must verify:
6** Foreign renewable fuel producers who opt to generate RINs, as opposed to having a U.S. importer generate RINs, must submit additional documentation and provide a monetary bond per §80.1466. Submit a contact form: Program Support and Registration Contact Form and select the Subject “Part 80 Registration”
