Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Nature of Business	(1) Organization and Nature of Business Organization CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVR Energy”, “CVR”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a diversified holding company primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and marketing industry (the “Petroleum Segment”), the renewable fuels industry (the “Renewables Segment”), and the nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing industry through its interest in CVR Partners, LP, a publicly traded limited partnership (the “Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment” or “CVR Partners”). The Petroleum Segment refines and markets high value transportation fuels which consist of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and distillates, as well as activities related to crude oil gathering and logistics that support refinery operations. The Renewables Segment refines renewable feedstocks, such as soybean oil, corn oil, and other renewable feedstocks, into renewable diesel and markets renewables products. CVR Partners produces and markets nitrogen fertilizer products primarily in the form of ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”) for the farming industry. CVR’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “CVI”. As of September 30, 2025, Icahn Enterprises L.P. and its affiliates, including Mr. Carl C. Icahn (“IEP”), owned approximately 70% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company resolved to revert the renewable diesel unit (“RDU”) at the refinery located in Wynnewood, Oklahoma (the “Wynnewood Refinery”) back to hydrocarbon processing service at the next scheduled catalyst change in December 2025, considering the unfavorable economics of the renewables business and to optimize feedstock and relieve certain logistical constraints within the refining business. The Company expects to maintain the option to switch back to renewable diesel service if incentivized to do so. Refer to Note 4 (“Long-Term Assets”) for further discussion. CVR Partners, LP As of September 30, 2025, public common unitholders held approximately 60% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units; CVR Energy, through its subsidiaries, held approximately 37% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units and 100% of CVR Partners’ general partner interests, while IEP held approximately 3% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units. The noncontrolling interest reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of CVR is only impacted by the results of and distributions from CVR Partners. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) Small Refinery Exemption (“SRE”) Decision In August 2025, the EPA addressed a backlog of 175 small refinery exemption petitions covering compliance years 2016 to 2024, granting full or partial exemptions to 140 refineries. The decision document the EPA issued to the Company’s subsidiary, Wynnewood Refining Company, LLC (“WRC”), affirmed the validity of its previous grant of WRC’s petitions for small refinery hardship relief under the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) for 2017 and 2018 compliance periods and granted full or partial waivers for the 2019 through 2024 compliance periods. Refer to Note 12 (“Commitments and Contingencies”) for further details. Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events, if any, that would require an adjustment to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or require disclosure in the notes thereto through the date of issuance. Where applicable, the notes to these condensed consolidated financial statements have been updated to reflect all significant subsequent events which have occurred.
