U.S. oil refiners this quarter are expected to spend the most since at least 2018 to meet U.S. biofuels requirements, further pressuring margins hit by the collapse since March in global prices and demand.

RIN prices had also risen earlier this year after a U.S. court in January ruled the Trump administration must reconsider three waivers it previously handed out to refineries that exempted them from the blending laws. The higher RIN costs, combined with lower margins because of the coronavirus pandemic, have added a sense of urgency to the ongoing debate in Washington, D.C. around the blending requirements. Lawmakers from heavy oil-producing states have called for relief to refiners during the pandemic, citing in part the increased RIN prices.
Refiners paid about $446 million in the second quarter for these compliance credits, a Reuters review of regulatory filings from five publicly listed refiners that disclose the numbers show.Tudor Pickering Holt and Co analyst Matthew Blair estimates current-quarter RIN costs at $1.39 per barrel for refiners that do not blend, the highest in more than two years and up from $1.18 on average in the second quarter and 52 cents a year ago.
