RVO compliance

Each year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) evaluates the projected production levels of gasoline and diesel to determine the total volume of renewable fuels that must be blended into the transportation fuel supply. These targets include specific volumes for various categories of renewable fuel, such as cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel and total renewable fuel.

The EPA then calculates the percentage standards, representing the proportion of each type of renewable fuel that must be blended relative to the total volume of gasoline and diesel projected for the year. These percentage standards are applied to the gasoline and diesel production volumes of obligated parties, such as refiners and importers, to determine their individual Renewable Vo
