Current report
We are required to implement programs to comply with the Biogas Regulatory Reform Rule and our failure to do so could have an adverse effect on our financial results.
Current report
On July 12, 2023, the EPA issued final rule 88 Fed. Reg. 44468 (July 12, 2023) to, in part, implement biogas regulatory reform to the EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard Program (“RFS”) (the “Biogas Regulatory Reform Rule” or “BRRR”). BRRR significantly changes the method by which RINs are generated from biogas feedstock and how market participants are required to administer RINs.
Current report
BRRR requires all parties in the chain of title to biogas, renewable natural gas, and RINs to register with the EPA. By January 1, 2025, all parties must comply with BRRR and only biogas and RNG produced and dispensed under BRRR are eligible for RIN generation.
Current report
The Company has timely completed applications for registration under BRRR of its RNG production projects in operations. The Company anticipates receiving EPA registration acceptance for these projects prior to January 1, 2025. There can be no assurance, however, that such approval from EPA will be received by January 1, 2025.
Current report
BRRR also requires RNG RIN separators to register with the EPA for each CNG dispensing station. The Company is in the process of registering as RNG RIN separator, for fueling stations that account for approximately 57% of the Company’s CNG dispensing capacity. Wherever the Company is not registered as the RNG RIN separator, it will rely on the owner/operator of the fueling station to perform the role as RNG RIN separator (i.e., separating the RINs and transferring them to the Company for monetization). There can be no assurance that these owners/operators will timely provide the necessary administrative services and transactional data required for the separation and transfer of RINs from these stations. If we are unable to receive RINs from stations representing a material proportion of our dispensing capacity, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
