Regarding your inquiry on eRINs, I would imagine that the most appropriate person would be housed in Air and Radiation-Office of Transportation and Air Quality. I will check on finding out who the most appropriate person in that office for you to meet with would be and get back to you as quickly as I can. Thanks.

I was hoping to follow up on my note regarding Newtrient's work on the eRIN issue. Is there someone at EPA that has been working on this that would you would recommend speaking with? As we discussed in our meeting, one of the core components of Newtrients's work, is trying to find enhanced avenues for the deployment of nutrient management technologies on dairy farms including digesters. Newtrient has been following the issue of the electronic pathway for RINs also known as "eRINs" very closely. Finding a solution to better account for eRINs may be a way that could help increase the economic viability of digester technology on dairy farms. Newtrient would be interested in discussing with the right person at EPA who is working on that issue for the Administrator. Thank you for any help you may be able to provide here.

They have been making good headway on that front especially in Wisconsin and Vermont. One of the core components of Newtrients's work, is trying to find enhanced avenues for the deployment of nutrient management technologies on dairy farms including digesters. Newtrient has been following the issue of the electronic pathway for RINs also known as "eRINs" very closely.

Newtrient would be interested in discussing with the right person at EPA who is working on that issue for the Administrator. Would it be possible for you to point us in the right direction or connect us? Thank you very much for your consideration. We look forward to keeping you updated as Newtrient continues to progress with their work. Best regards and Happy Holidays, Kevin & Denise Kevin O.
