Interesting: RD INCREASES RIN Supply & SUPPRESSES Ethanol RD: RENEWABLE Diesel
RIN: Renewable Identification Number
- therefore, PRICE of RINs has DECLINED as PRODUCTION of RD has increased
- in addition, RD get CARBON EMISSION CREDITS
- the WAY the BALL is ROLLING, renewable diesel is RESTRICTING ETHANOL PRODUCTION as crude oil refineries have an ALTERNATIVE SOURCE of RIN to COUNTERWEIGHT their manufacturing of GASOLINE, DIESEL and JET FUEL to MEET the US Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)
- so Suncor Energy would have an INCENTIVE to PRODUCE RD at it's Commerce City Refinery in Colorado
