Biofuel industry groups urged the EPA at a virtual hearing to reallocate 770 million RINs associated with small-refinery exemptions. The agency’s proposal would add the exempted volumes to 2026 and 2027 renewable-fuel obligations, and Clean Fuels Alliance America called for the rule to be finalized by year-end.
Reallocating the exempted volumes would increase obligated renewable-fuel demand, supporting biofuel production and potentially boosting demand for soybean oil as a feedstock.
After 842 past bullish policy events, Soybean Oil moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.6% to +2.1%), and -0.5% over 20.
