In Washington, Dow Jones reports Energy Information Administration data shows ethanol production fell to an average of 1.04 million barrels per day, the lowest level since late January and far below analysts’ estimates of between 1.09 million barrels a day and 1.122 million barrels a day. Despite the lower production volumes, stocks rose to 26.95 […]
In Switzerland, despite in March the US pushing the International Martime Organization to delay its decision on net zero goals until next year, it has now proposed that emissions associated with indirect land use change should only apply within the boundaries of a project, in hopes to push for ethanol use in marine fuels. By […]
In Washington, Brownfield Ag News reports Energy Information Administration data shows ethanol continued to soar last week with strong margins helping producers to crank out 1.2 million barrels per day, the highest seen in five weeks yet stocks continued to grow to 26.699 million barrels, up 646,000 barrels from the week before. Ethanol exports dropped […]
In Vietnam, VNA News reports the on again-off again Dung Quat ethanol plant is set to begin full operations this month as the country seeks to reduce its exposure to volatile fuel markets and implement its E10 mandate with domestic supply. The facility came online in January to begin its ramp up to full capacity, […]
In Washington, Brownfield Ag News reports ethanol exports soared during the first week of April to 203,000 barrels, pushing 2026 ethanol exports to date well above those in 2025 that broke records.

In Brazil, hydrogen production from ethanol, especially when derived from biomass, is a particularly promising pathway in the Brazilian context. Brazil has a well-established infrastructure for producing, distributing, and using this biofuel, opening the door to technological solutions that add value to ethanol and expand its role in the energy transition. A study led by […]
