Forward Purchase Commitments for Renewable Energy Credit Obligations $ 289.0  
[1] The Company is subject to obligations to purchase Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard. The Company’s overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by Environmental Protection Agency. To the degree the Company is unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy its RINs obligation, RINs must be purchased on the open market to avoid penalties and fines. The Company records its RINs obligation on a net basis in Accrued expenses when its RINs liability is greater than the amount of RINs earned and purchased in a given period and in Prepaid and other current assets when the amount of RINs earned and purchased is greater than the RINs liability. In addition, the Company is subject to obligations to comply with federal and state legislative and regulatory measures, including regulations in the state of California pursuant to Assembly Bill 32 (“AB 32”), to address environmental compliance and greenhouse gas and other emissions. These requirements include incremental costs to operate and maintain our facilities as well as to implement and manage new emission controls and programs. Renewable energy credit and emissions obligations fluctuate with the volume of applicable product sales and timing of credit purchases. From time to time, the Company enters into forward purchase commitments in order to acquire its renewable energy and emissions credits at fixed prices. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had entered into approximately $289.0 million of such forward purchase commitments with respect to its total accrued renewable energy and emissions obligations. Our RIN obligations will be settled in accordance with established regulatory deadlines. The Company’s AB 32 liability is part of an ongoing triennial period program which will be settled in 2024. The Company has entered into agreements with SBR and/or its subsidiary that allow the Company to purchase environmental credits and hydrocarbon products at its election. The Company does not have any obligation to buy a specific amount of environmental credits under such agreements unless otherwise agreed. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had related party transactions with SBR, pursuant to ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures. The Company had sales of $6.4 million, which are included in revenues, that consist primarily of refined product sales. The Company also had purchases of $151.3 million, included in cost of products and other, consisting of purchases of environmental credits and hydrocarbon products.

Aron owned inventory held in the Company’s Storage Tanks, with any change in the market price being recorded in Cost of products and other. As described in “Note 3 - Inventories”, the Company early terminated this agreement on July 31, 2023.
