ETHANOL EXPORTS RISING THIS YEAR

(SPRINGFIELD) Already the world’s top ethanol producer, America exported a record 1.75 billion gallons from September 2023 to August 2024, an increase of 43% from the previous marketing year. Leading the ethanol demand was Canada, importing 655 million gallons, then the United Kingdom at 227 million gallons, India at 171 million gallons, Columbia at 123 million gallons, and the Netherlands at 97 million gallons. The total, however, does not include 140.5 million gallons shipped to Japan in the form of ethyl tert-butyl ether. The trend is expected to continue as more countries shift to cleaner energy policies.
