Annual OPIS RFS, RINs & Biofuels Forum

The Annual OPIS RFS, RINs & Biofuels Forum is a premier event focused on navigating the evolving biofuels market, particularly in the context of the rising importance of carbon intensity (CI) optimization. As the biofuels sector emerges from a period of significant market and policy uncertainty, this forum provides an essential platform for stakeholders to adapt and thrive in a high-velocity era. With the introduction of the 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit and a restructured regulatory landscape, this event emphasizes the pressing need for ethanol, renewable diesel, biodiesel, renewable natural gas, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) producers to leverage data-driven insights and transparent pricing strategies to ensure profitability. Taking place at the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel in Chicago, the forum gathers a diverse audience of professionals, including renewable diesel, ethanol, and SAF producers, as well as compliance, regulatory, and sustainability leaders. This year marks the 18th Annual Forum, designed to transition organizations from a reactive to a proactive stance in the face of market dynamics that will define 2026 and beyond. Participants will engage in deep analysis of the Clean Fuel Production Credit's first full year, exploring how CI scores are influencing project economics and determining market leaders. Key discussions will include the transition from mandates to molecules, insights into supply chains, pricing, and logistics as SAF demand grows, and the impact of emerging carbon capture projects on the economics of ethanol production. The forum also addresses critical trade policy shifts and global carbon border adjustments that are reshaping international biofuels and feedstock flows. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with industry experts, innovators, and decision-makers, fostering meaningful relationships and exploring new partnerships within the dynamic biofuels landscape.
