(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 03/14/13 -- Shares of oil refiners have slid this past week on concerns that rising renewable fuel credits would begin to pressure margins. The Environmental Protection Agency has propped refineries raising the U.S. ethanol mandate to over 14 billion gallons, compared with 13.2 billion gallons in 2012. Research Driven Investing examines investing opportunities in the Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing Industry and provides equity research on CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CVI) and Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX).

"There is a potential real stinker of an issue developing for US refiners on meeting obligations related to the US government's renewable fuels standard (RFS) that could materially impact earnings for many of the companies. The price of renewable fuel credits, known as Renewable Identification Number (RINs), has skyrocketed from under US$0.01/gal for ethanol in late 2012 to over US$1.00/gal this week, significantly increasing the cost of RFS compliance for the US refiners so far in 2013," Macquarie wrote in a recent note to investors.
