For the third quarter of 2025, we expect to capture additional incremental value from the PTC.

Previous wording
Pursuant to the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) promulgated the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) regulations, which increased the volume of renewable fuels mandated to be blended into the nation’s fuel supply. The regulations, in part, require refiners to increase amounts annually of “renewable fuels” to their petroleum products or purchase credits, known as RINs, in lieu of such blending. Compliance with RFS regulations significantly increases our Cost of materials and other, with RINs costs totaling $180 million and $318 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $108 million and $214 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. At June 30, 2025, our open RINs credit obligations were $83 million.
