The Energy Information Administration reported that July US ethanol production was 13.05 million barrels, up 519,000 from June. Imports grew to 1.45 million barrels in July, up from 596,000 barrels.
On an annualized basis, this represents an ethanol supply equivalent to 7.3 billion gallons, or 3% short of a 2012 mandated goal for the US ethanol industry. There are 42 gallons in a barrel.
Lack of transportation infrastructure is making imported fuel more attractive for West Coast and East Coast fuel markets.
