Hi Mortenm,

Some answers to your questions can be found here. Some links offer answers to more of your questions, but I didn't want to post them double:

1.This site is about RINs

2. Check this document for more background info on RIN pricing and the effects

2. This site offers a free weekly report for download and also a daily RIN report can be received.

3. For each gallon of corn-starch ethanol produced, one RIN is issued. For agri-biodiesel, 1.5 RINs are issued for each gallon. In future years when commercial production of cellulose ethanol becomes widely available, it will receive 2.5 RINs per gallon. Read more on this site

4. RIN prices are affected by the amount of Ethanol refiners need to blend. Also by the expectation how much they need to blend, and by the amount of fuel they are going to produce. RINs can be bought together with ethanol, but also as a separated RIN, sold by those who bought ethanol but don't need the RIN, or ethanol sold to foreign countries. Also if one blends in more Ethanol then necessary, the RINs can be sold to others.
Read more about separating RINs here

So the value of RINs is mostly determined by the amount needed and the amount available on the market.

Extra info: The RINS wiki page which doesn't offer that much information.
