About this episode

The episode analyzes the factors contributing to the spike in the D4 Renewable Identification Number price amidst a higher bio-based diesel volume mandate.

The price of the D4 Renewable Identification Number has increased 130% so far in 2026, a response to a 70% increase in the minimum bio-based diesel volume mandate and a higher price premium for soybean oil. Today, we analyze the additional factors at play, from theoretical and practical standpoints.
