An AFS Commodities article describes EPA's proposed Set 2 RFS rule for 2026-2027, which would cut RIN value by 50% for imported biofuels and foreign-sourced feedstocks. The rule is described as a shift toward domestic production and energy security.
Halving RIN value for imported feedstocks would shift demand toward domestic oilseed and fat supplies, supporting domestic vegetable oil prices and reducing import flows.
