Global ethanol production to reduce GHG emissions by 100 million tonnes in 2012, says GFRA

September 6, 2012 |

In Canada, the Global Renewable Fuels Alliance released its annual Green House Gas (GHG) Reduction Forecast. The GRFA is forecasting global ethanol production to reduce GHG emissions by 100 million tonnes in 2012.

(S&T)2 Consultants Inc., an internationally renowned energy and environmental consulting firm, has produced data demonstrating the positive impact global ethanol production continues to have on reducing global Green House Gas emissions. Figures reveal that world ethanol production in 2012 will reduce global GHG emissions by over 276,000 tonnes per day. Compared to 2011, this is an increase of over 3000 tonnes per day in GHG reduction. In cooperation with F.O. Licht the GRFA is predicting global ethanol production in 2012 to grow by 1% to over 85.2 billion litres. This increase in production will result in a 2% growth in GHG reductions to over 100 million tonnes per year or 276,000 tonnes per day. Still potential for renewable resources
