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 nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing industries through its holdings in CVR Refining, LP (the “Petroleum Segment” or “CVR Refining”) and CVR Partners, LP (the “Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment” or “CVR Partners”). CVR Refining is an independent petroleum refiner and marketer of high value transportation fuels. CVR Partners produces and markets nitrogen fertilizers in the form of urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”) and ammonia. CVR’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “CVI.” Icahn Enterprises L.P. and its affiliates (“IEP”) owned approximately 71% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2021. CVR Partners, LP Interest Holders - As of March 31, 2021, public common unitholders held approximately 64% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units and CVR Services, LLC (“CVR Services”) (formerly Coffeyville Resources, LLC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CVR Energy, held approximately 36% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units. In addition, CVR Services held 100% of CVR Partners’ general partner, CVR GP, LLC (“CVR GP”), which held a non-economic general partner interest in CVR Partners as of March 31, 2021. The noncontrolling interest reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of CVR is only impacted by the net income of, and distributions from, CVR Partners. Unit Repurchase Program - On May 6, 2020, CVR Partners announced that the board of directors of its general partner (the “UAN GP Board”), on behalf of CVR Partners, authorized a unit repurchase program (the “Unit Repurchase Program”). The Unit Repurchase Program enables CVR Partners to repurchase up to $10 million of its common units. On February 22, 2021, the UAN GP Board authorized an additional $10 million for the Unit Repurchase Program. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, CVR Partners repurchased 24,378 common units on the open market, in accordance with a repurchase agreement under Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, at a cost of $1 million, inclusive of transaction costs, or an average price of $21.70 per common unit. As of March 31, 2021, CVR Partners had $12 million in authority remaining under the Unit Repurchase Program. This Unit Repurchase Program does not obligate CVR Partners to acquire any common units and may be cancelled or terminated by the UAN GP Board at any time. As a result of these repurchases, and the resulting change in CVR Energy’s ownership of CVR Partners while maintaining control, CVR Energy recognized a nominal increase to additional paid-in capital from the reduction of non-controlling interests totaling $0.1 million and the recognition of a deferred tax liability totaling $0.1 million from changes in its book versus tax basis in CVR Partners.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Changes	(3) Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Changes Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adoption of Income Tax Standard In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and modifies other areas of the topic to clarify the application of GAAP. Certain amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted this ASU with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adoption of Codification Improvements Standard In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. The ASU amends various sections of the codification in the FASB’s ongoing efforts to simplify and improve guidance. Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted this ASU with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Implemented In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This ASU was issued because, by the end of 2021, banks will no longer be required to report information that is used to determine London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is used globally by all types of entities. As a result, LIBOR could be discontinued, as well as other interest rates used globally. ASU 2020-04 provides companies with optional expedients for contract modifications under Topics 310, 470, 842, and 815-15, excluded components of certain hedging relationships, fair value hedges, and cash flow hedges, as well as certain exceptions, which are intended to help ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from these reference rates. ASU 2021-01 clarifies certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting. Companies can apply the ASU immediately. However, the guidance will only be available for a limited time (generally through December 31, 2022). The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments, Investments and Fair Value Measurements	(10) Derivative Financial Instruments, Investments and Fair Value Measurements Derivative Financial Instruments The Petroleum Segment from time to time enters into various commodity derivative transactions to manage price risk on crude oil and other inventories and to fix margins on certain future production. On a regular basis, the Company enters into commodity contracts with counterparties for the purchases or sale of crude oil, blendstocks, various finished products, and RINs. The contracts usually qualify for the normal purchase normal sale exception and follow the accrual method of accounting. All other derivative instruments are recorded at fair value using mark-to-market accounting on a periodic basis utilizing third-party pricing. The Petroleum Segment holds derivative instruments, such as exchange-traded crude oil futures and over-the-counter forward swap agreements, which it believes provide an economic hedge on future transactions, but such instruments are not designated as hedges under GAAP. There are no premiums paid or received at inception of the derivative contracts or upon settlement. The Petroleum Segment may enter into forward purchase or sale contracts associated with RINs. As of March 31, 2021, the Petroleum Segment had open fixed-price commitments to purchase 32 million RINs. Commodity derivatives include commodity swaps and forward purchase and sale commitments. There were 12 million outstanding commodity swap positions as of March 31, 2021. There were approximately 2 million forward purchase commitments and 2 million forward sale commitments as of March 31, 2021. The following outlines the gains (losses) recognized on the Company’s derivative activities, all of which are recorded in Cost of materials and other on the condensed consolidated statements of operations: Gain (loss) on Derivatives Three Months Ended (in millions) 2021 2020 Forward purchases and sales contracts, net $ 18 $ 36 Commodity swap instruments (50) — Futures contracts — 10 Total (loss) gain on derivatives, net $ (32) $ 46 Offsetting Assets and Liabilities The Company elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty. These amounts are recognized as current assets and current liabilities within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other current liabilities financial statement line items, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows: Derivative Assets Derivative Liabilities (in millions) March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Commodity derivatives $ 3 $ 1 $ (1) $ (5) Less: Counterparty netting (1) (1) 1 1 Total net fair value of derivatives $ 2 $ — $ — $ (4) Investments Investments consist of equity securities, which are reported at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These investments are considered trading securities. Investment income on marketable securities consists of the following: Three Months Ended (in millions) 2021 2020 Dividend income $ — $ 1 Unrealized gain 62 30 Investment income on marketable securities $ 62 $ 31 Fair Value Measurements In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), the Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or liabilities, such as a business. ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities • Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities) • Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value) As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the only financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are the Company’s investments, derivative instruments, long-term debt, and the RFS obligation. The estimated fair value of cash equivalents, including amounts invested in short-term money market funds, and restricted cash approximate their carrying amounts. The Petroleum Segment’s commodity derivative contracts and RFS obligation, which use fair value measurements and are valued using broker quoted market prices of similar instruments, are considered Level 2 inputs. The Company had no transfers of assets or liabilities between any of the above levels during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The following tables set forth the assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020: March 31, 2021 (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Location and Description Prepaid expenses and other current assets (investments) $ 235 $ — $ — $ 235 Prepaid expenses and other current assets (commodity derivatives) — 6 — 6 Total Assets $ 235 $ 6 $ — $ 241 Current portion of long-term debt $ — $ (2) $ — $ (2) Other current liabilities (commodity swaps) — (63) — (63) Other current liabilities (RFS obligation) — (342) — (342) Long-term debt and finance lease obligations, net of current portion — (1,627) — (1,627) Total Liabilities $ — $ (2,034) $ — $ (2,034) December 31, 2020 (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Location and Description Prepaid expenses and other current assets (investments) $ 173 $ — $ — $ 173 Total Assets $ 173 $ — $ — $ 173 Current portion of long-term debt $ — $ (2) $ — $ (2) Other current liabilities (commodity derivatives) — (17) — (17) Other current liabilities (RFS obligation) — (214) — (214) Long-term debt and finance lease obligations, net of current portion — (1,604) — (1,604) Total Liabilities $ — $ (1,837) $ — $ (1,837)

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies	3 Months Ended

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	(12) Commitments and Contingencies Except as described below, there have been no material changes in the Company’s commitments and contingencies disclosed in the 2020 Form 10-K. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings, and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory, and other matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but the Company accrues liabilities for these matters if the Company has determined that it is probable a loss has been incurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, if one or more of them were decided against us, the Company believes there would be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company continues to monitor its contractual arrangements and customer, vendor, and supplier relationships to determine whether and to what extent, if any, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or recent crude oil or refined product price volatility will impair or excuse the performance of the Company or its subsidiaries or their customers, vendors, or suppliers under existing agreements. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had not experienced a material financial impact from any actual or threatened impairment of or excuse in its or others’ performance under such agreements. Crude Oil Supply Agreement On August 31, 2012, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of CVR Refining entered into an Amended and Restated Crude Oil Supply Agreement (as amended, the “Crude Oil Supply Agreement”) with Vitol Inc. (“Vitol”). Under the Crude Oil Supply Agreement, Vitol supplies the Petroleum Segment with crude oil and intermediation logistics helping to reduce the amount of inventory held at certain locations and mitigate crude oil pricing risk. Volumes contracted under the Crude Oil Supply Agreement, as a percentage of the total crude oil purchases (in barrels), was approximately 37% and 18% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Crude Oil Supply Agreement, which currently extends through December 31, 2021, automatically renews for successive one-year terms (each such term, a “Renewal Term”) unless either party provides the other with notice of non-renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration of any Renewal Term. RFS The Petroleum Segment is subject to the RFS of the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that requires refiners to either blend renewable fuels in with their transportation fuels or purchase renewable fuel credits, known as RINs, in lieu of blending. The Petroleum Segment is not able to blend the substantial majority of its transportation fuels and has to purchase RINs on the open market, and may have to obtain waiver credits for cellulosic biofuels from the EPA, in order to comply with the RFS. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized expense of approximately $178 million and $19 million, respectively, for the Petroleum Segment’s compliance with the RFS. The recognized amounts are included within Cost of materials and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and represent costs to comply with the RFS obligation through purchasing of RINs not otherwise reduced by blending of ethanol or biodiesel. At each reporting period, to the extent RINs purchased or generated through blending are less than the RFS obligation, the remaining obligation is marked-to-market using RIN market prices at period end. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Petroleum Segment’s RFS obligation was approximately $342 million and $214 million, respectively, which is recorded in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Litigation The U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York contacted CVR Energy in September 2017 seeking production of information pertaining to CVR Refining’s, CVR Energy’s and Mr. Carl C. Icahn’s activities relating to the RFS and Mr. Icahn’s former role as an advisor to the President of the United States. CVR Energy cooperated with the request and provided information in response to the subpoena. The U.S. Attorney’s office has not made any claims or allegations against CVR Energy or Mr. Icahn. CVR Energy believes it maintains a strong compliance program and, while no assurances can be made, CVR Energy does not believe this inquiry will have a material impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. On August 21, 2018, Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, LLC (“CRRM”) received a letter from the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) on behalf of the EPA and KDHE alleging violations of the CAA and a 2012 Consent Decree (the “CD”) between Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, LLC (“CRRM”), the United States (on behalf of the EPA) and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (“KDHE”) at CRRM’s Coffeyville refinery. In June 2020, a tolling agreement between the parties relating to such allegations expired, and the United States and KDHE sent demand letters relating to the allegations (the “Stipulated Claims”) and seeking stipulated penalties. In February 2021, the DOJ and KDHE sent CRRM a statement of position under the CD regarding its demand for Stipulated Claims. As CRRM disputes most claims asserted by the government, in accordance with the CD, CRRM deposited funds into a commercial escrow account pending resolution of disputed claims. The escrowed funds are legally restricted for use and are included within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In December 2020, the DOJ and KDHE filed a supplement complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas asserting nine counts for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act, the Kansas State Implementation Plan and Kansas law (“the Statutory Claims”) and seeking civil penalties, injunctive and related relief. CRRM continues to respond to information requests and negotiations relating to the Stipulated Claims and the Statutory Claims are ongoing. As a result, the Company cannot determine at this time the outcome of these matters, including whether such outcome, or any subsequent enforcement or litigation relating thereto would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In April 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10 th Circuit (the “10 th Circuit”) denied the petitions of Wynnewood Refining Company, LLC (“WRC”) and others seeking rehearing en banc of the January 2020 decision of a three-judge panel of the 10 th Circuit vacating three small refinery exemptions (“SREs”) under the RFS program under the CAA, including one issued to WRC’s Wynnewood refinery (the “Wynnewood Refinery”) for 2017, and remanding the matter back to the EPA for further proceedings. WRC filed a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States (the “Supreme Court”) on September 4, 2020, which was granted by the Supreme Court on January 8, 2021. The case was argued on April 27, 2021. As it is not yet clear how the Supreme Court will rule, or what steps the EPA will take with respect to SREs, we cannot currently estimate the outcome, impact, or timing of resolution of this matter In 2019, the Company, CVR Refining and its general partner, CVR Refining Holdings, IEP, and certain directors and affiliates were named in at least one of nine lawsuits that were subsequently consolidated in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware related to the Company’s exercise of the call option under the CVR Refining Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership assigned to it by CVR Refining’s general partner (the “Delaware Lawsuits”) primarily alleging breach of contract, tortious interference and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. In April 2020, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, CVR Refining and its general partner, CVR Refining Holdings, IEP, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer by purported former unitholders of CVR Refining on behalf of themselves and an alleged class of similarly situated unitholders (the “New York Lawsuit” and together with the Delaware Lawsuits, the “Call Option Lawsuits”) primarily alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The Company believes the Call Option Lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. Discovery is currently on-going and trial in the Delaware Lawsuit is currently scheduled for July 2021. Accordingly, the Company cannot determine at this time the outcome of the lawsuits, including whether the outcome would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segments	(13) Business Segments CVR Energy’s revenues are derived from two operating segments: the Petroleum Segment and the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on segment operating income (loss) and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”). For the purposes of the operating segment disclosure, the Company presents operating income (loss) as it is the most comparable measure to the amounts presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The other amounts reflect intercompany eliminations, corporate cash and cash equivalents, income tax activities, and other corporate activities that are not allocated to the operating segments. The following table summarizes certain operating results and capital expenditures information by segment: Three Months Ended (in millions) 2021 2020 Net sales Petroleum $ 1,404 $ 1,057 Nitrogen Fertilizer 61 75 Other, including intersegment eliminations (2) (2) Total $ 1,463 $ 1,130 Operating loss Petroleum $ (115) $ (127) Nitrogen Fertilizer (14) (5) Other, including intersegment eliminations (6) (3) Total (135) (135) Interest expense, net (31) (35) Investment income on marketable securities 62 31 Other income, net 7 2 Loss before income tax benefit $ (97) $ (137) Depreciation and amortization Petroleum $ 51 $ 48 Nitrogen Fertilizer 14 16 Other 1 — Total $ 66 $ 64 Capital expenditures (1) Petroleum $ 10 $ 40 Nitrogen Fertilizer 3 6 Other (2) 55 2 Total $ 68 $ 48 The following table summarizes total assets by segment: (in millions) March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Petroleum $ 3,207 $ 2,991 Nitrogen Fertilizer 1,032 1,033 Other, including intersegment eliminations (51) (46) Total Assets $ 4,188 $ 3,978 (1) Capital expenditures are shown exclusive of capitalized turnaround expenditures and business combinations.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2020 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in CVR Energy’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”). Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of CVR Partners, which is defined as a variable interest entity. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results of operations and cash
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adoption of Income Tax Standard In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and modifies other areas of the topic to clarify the application of GAAP. Certain amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted this ASU with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adoption of Codification Improvements Standard In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. The ASU amends various sections of the codification in the FASB’s ongoing efforts to simplify and improve guidance. Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted this ASU with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Implemented In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This ASU was issued because, by the end of 2021, banks will no longer be required to report information that is used to determine London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is used globally by all types of entities. As a result, LIBOR could be discontinued, as well as other interest rates used globally. ASU 2020-04 provides companies with optional expedients for contract modifications under Topics 310, 470, 842, and 815-15, excluded components of certain hedging relationships, fair value hedges, and cash flow hedges, as well as certain exceptions, which are intended to help ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from these reference rates. ASU 2021-01 clarifies certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting. Companies can apply the ASU immediately. However, the guidance will only be available for a limited time (generally through December 31, 2022). The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
