Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business Red Trail Energy, LLC, a North Dakota limited liability company (the “Company”), owns and operates a 50 million gallon annual name-plate production ethanol plant near Richardton, North Dakota (the “Plant”). Reduced Carbon Dioxide Fuels Credits The Company recently entered a market to sell voluntary carbon dioxide reduction credits. The Company is generating these credits through our carbon dioxide sequestration project. The Company holds these credits in inventory as we seek buyers who are interested in purchasing the credits. The Company is using the inventory method of accounting for these credits and we are not including these credits as assets on our balance sheet as they have negligible incremental costs associated with generating the credits. When the Company enters into a contract to sell these credits, we will include the amount we agree to receive for the credits in income. Accounting Estimates Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue | REVENUE Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from sales of ethanol and co-products at the point in time when the performance obligations in the Company's contracts with customers are met, which is when the customer obtains control of such products and typically occurs upon shipment (depending on the terms of the underlying contracts). Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. In some instances, the Company enters into contracts with customers that contain multiple performance obligations to deliver specified volumes of co-products over a contractual period of less than 12 months. In such instances, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices and recognizes the related revenue when control of each individual product is transferred to the customer in satisfaction of the corresponding performance obligation. Revenue by Source The following table disaggregates revenue by major source for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Shipping and Handling Costs We account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill our promises to transfer the associated products. Accordingly, we record customer payments associated with shipping and handling costs as a component of revenue and classify such costs as a component of cost of goods sold. Customer Deposits Customer deposits are contract liabilities for payments in excess of revenue recognized. Customer deposits are recognized when modified distillers grains customers make prepayments on their contracts. The ending balances for accounts receivable and customer deposits were as follows for the periods six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Derivative Instruments | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Commodity Contracts As part of its hedging strategy, the Company may enter into ethanol, soybean, soybean oil, natural gas and corn commodity-based derivatives in order to protect cash flows from fluctuations caused by volatility in commodity prices in order to protect gross profit margins from potentially adverse effects of market and price volatility on ethanol sales, corn oil sales, and corn purchase commitments where the prices are set at a future date. These derivatives are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes. For derivative instruments that are not accounted for as hedges, or for the ineffective portions of qualifying hedges, the change in fair market value is recorded through earnings in the period of change. Ethanol derivative fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and are classified as revenue, and corn derivative changes in fair market value are included in cost of goods sold.

Inventory | INVENTORY Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory values as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were as follows:
Lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
The Company has entered into forward corn purchase contracts under which it is required to take delivery at the contract price. At the time the contracts were created, the price of the contract approximated market price. Subsequent changes in market conditions could cause the contract prices to become higher or lower than market prices. As of March 31, 2024, the average price of corn purchased under certain fixed price contracts, that had not yet been delivered, was greater than the approximated market price. Based on this information, the Company has estimated loss on firm purchase commitments of approximately $1,394,000 and $464,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The loss is recorded in “Loss on firm purchase commitments” on the statement of operations and "Accrued loss on firm purchase commitments" on the balance sheet. The amount of the potential loss was determined by applying a methodology similar to that used in the impairment valuation with respect to inventory. Given the uncertainty of future ethanol prices, future losses on the outstanding purchase commitments could be recorded in future periods.

Uncertainties Impacting the Ethanol Industry and Our Future Operations [Abstract] | |
Uncertainties Impacting the Ethanol Industry and Our Future Operations | UNCERTAINTIES IMPACTING THE ETHANOL INDUSTRY AND OUR FUTURE OPERATIONS During volatile market conditions, the Company experiences certain risks and uncertainties, which could have a severe impact on operations. The Company's revenues are derived primarily from the sale and distribution of ethanol and distillers grains to customers primarily located in the United States. Corn for the production process is supplied to the Plant primarily from local agricultural producers and from purchases on the open market. The Company's operating and financial performance is largely driven by prices at which the Company sells ethanol and distillers grains and by the cost at which it is able to purchase corn for operations. The price of ethanol is influenced by factors such as supply and demand, weather, government policies and programs, and unleaded gasoline and the petroleum markets, although since 2005 the prices of ethanol and gasoline began a divergence with ethanol generally selling for less than gasoline at the wholesale level. Excess ethanol supply in the market, in particular, puts downward pressure on the price of ethanol. The Company's largest cost of production is corn. The cost of corn is generally impacted by factors such as supply and demand, weather, and government programs, global political or economic issues, including but not limited to the war in Ukraine and sanctions associated therewith, or global damaging growing conditions, such as plant disease or adverse weather, including drought, increased fertilizer costs as well as global conflicts, including but not limited to unrest in the Middle East. The Company's financial performance is highly dependent on the Federal Renewable Fuels Standard ("RFS"), which requires that a certain amount of renewable fuels must be used each year in the United States. Corn based ethanol, such as the ethanol the Company produces, can be used to meet a portion of the RFS requirement. In November 2013, the EPA issued a proposed rule which would reduce the RFS for 2014, including the RFS requirement related to corn based ethanol. The EPA proposed rule was subject to a comment period which expired in January 2014. On November 30, 2015, the EPA released its final ethanol use requirements for 2014, 2015 and 2016, which were lower than the statutory requirements in the RFS. However, the final RFS for 2017 equaled the statutory requirement which was also the case for the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 RFS final rules. The final RFS for 2022 was significantly larger than 2021, with a final volume requirement of 20.63 billion gallons and a supplemental standard of .25 billion gallons. The final RFS for 2023 and 2024 had a volume requirement of 20.94 billion gallons and 21.54 billion gallons, respectively. The Company anticipates that the results of operations during the remainder of fiscal year 2024 will continue to be affected by volatility in the commodity markets. The volatility is due to various factors, including uncertainty with respect to the availability and supply of corn, increased demand for grain from global and national markets, speculation in the commodity markets, and demand for corn from the ethanol industry.
