New Report sees US, Brazil and EU remaining top ethanol producers

February 12, 2014 |

In the UK, a new report by Merchant Research & Consulting says world ethanol supply registered a 2.3% YoY decline in 2012, exceeding 69.49 million metric tons, but the situation in the market improved the following year, and the global volume of the ethanol production surpassed the 72.5 million tons mark. In the same year, the top five manufacturing countries (namely the US, Brazil, China, India and Canada) captured almost 90% of the overall ethanol supply. In 2013, world annual production capacities of ethanol exceeded 94.5 million tons. North America and Latin America accounted for the large shares of the overall capacity. The world ethanol supply will likely go beyond 100 million tons in 2018. The US, Brazil and the EU are poised to occupy the leadership in ethanol production in the years ahead.
