Total ethanol production to increase
Overall production of ethanol will increase by 16.2% this year resulting in 85.9 billion litres being manufactured.
This rise in ethanol production will see more than one million barrels of biofuels a day replace 370 million barrels of oil this year, the Global Renewable Fuels Alliance (GRFA) forecasts.
With over 45 billion litres of ethanol expected to be manufactured in the US alone this year, the region remains the global leader in ethanol production.
A total of 73.9 billion litres of ethanol were produced last year, data by F.O. Licht finds.
GRFA member countries are at the forefront of developing new technologies that will utilise a wide variety of feedstocks to produce carbon-busting sustainable fuel.
Cellulosic ethanol is close to being commercialised as many biofuel firms are continuously developing second generation technology. It is also expected that 2010 will see the first commercial cellulose ethanol production in at least three different countries.
The GRFA is a global association representing over 65% of the world's production of renewable fuels from 30 different countries. The GRFA promotes the expanded use of ethanol and biodiesel throughout the world.
