US Grains Council promoting ethanol in Indonesia and Thailand

In Washington, representatives from the U.S. Grains Council recently traveled to Indonesia and Thailand to visit with ministry and industry officials there and gain a better understanding of the opportunities for and challenges to expanded ethanol use in both markets. Following meetings in Jakarta, the Council traveled to Thailand to assess opportunities for biofuels in that market. Thailand has an effective national blend rate of 12 percent, utilizing domestically-sourced sugarcane and cassava-based ethanol. Domestic ethanol production is expected to total nearly 360 million gallons in 2017.
