Ethanol reduces GHG emissions in 2014

The Global Renewable Fuels Alliance (GRFA) is forecasting global ethanol production and use in 2014 will reduce GHG emissions by over 106 million metric tonnes.

The GRFA in cooperation with (S&T)² Consultants released their Global Green House Gas (GHG) Emissions Reduction Forecast for 2014.

Compared to last year, this figure for 2014 shows that 90.38 billion litres of global ethanol production and use this year will lower global GHG emissions by more than 291,000 metric tonnes per day. This reveals an increase of over 7,000 metric tonnes per day in GHG emission savings.

'This data is good news for the environment,' says Bliss Baker, spokesperson for the GRFA. 'Ethanol consumption is the largest single contributor to GHG reductions in the transportation space.'
