Platts updates 2026 RVO weightings based on EPA’s final rule
In Washington, Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, has updated its 2026 Renewable Volume Obligation weightings (RVOY026 and RVOR002) and the 2025 cellulosic weight (RVCY025) using the Environmental Protection Agency’s finalized Renewable Fuel Standards for 2026, effective March 30, 2026. The EPA released its finalized rule on March 27, 2026, and as per Platts methodology, RVO formulas may be updated when the EPA makes such changes.
As per Platts methodology, the renewable fuels are mandated by the EPA; they are subject to change without prior notice. When the EPA sets forth such changes, Platts will inform the market of any resulting changes to the assessment formulas through subscriber notes.
Prior to the final rule, Platts calculated the 2026 RVO using the 2025 Annual Energy Outlook and the proposed standards for 2026, assuming a 50% reallocation for small refinery exceptions, November Small Refinery Exemption and the updated adjustment factors.
