Intercontinental Exchange launched two Renewable Volume Obligation futures contracts to hedge exposure to the EPA's Renewable Fuel Standard. The RVO sets annual biofuel volume requirements that drive demand for RINs.
The contracts expand ICE's U.S. renewable fuels futures suite.
Hedging tools for RVO exposure affect refinery and biofuel margins, and they can shape how biofuel blending demand flows through to feedstock prices.
