TABLE-US generated fewer renewable blending credits in August, EPA says
NEW YORK, Sept 18 (Reuters) - The U.S. generated fewer renewable blending credits in August than July, data from the Environmental Protection Agency showed on Thursday.
About 1.22 billion ethanol (D6) blending credits were generated in August, compared with about 1.26 billion in July, the data showed.
Credits generated from biodiesel (D4) blending fell to 546 million in August from 635 million in the prior month, according to the data.
The credits are used by oil refiners and importers to show compliance with EPA-mandated renewable blending quotas for petroleum-based fuels. They are generated with every gallon of biofuel produced.
The following is a table of the credit generation for August by credit type.
Fuel (D) code | RINs | Volume (Gal.) |
D3 | 8,427,909 | 8,427,909 |
