As carbon intensity (CI) becomes increasingly important to the value of renewable fuels, the industry is facing a new challenge: making carbon accounting more interoperable between countries, without the adoption of a single, identical model.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration maintained its forecasts for 2026 and 2027 fuel ethanol production in its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, released Oct. 6. The forecasts for ethanol blending and exports were also unchanged.
U.S. fuel ethanol production expanded by nearly 5% the week ending Oct. 2, according to data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Oct. 7. Stocks of fuel ethanol were down nearly 1% and exports expanded by 17%.
Renewable Industries Canada, the Farm and Fuels Alliance and Grain Farmers of Ontario are encouraging the Canadian government to update the country’s Clean Fuel Regulations to support domestically produced ethanol.
The U.S. exported 211.77 million gallons of ethanol and 1.3 million metric tons of distillers grains in August, according to data released by the USDA on Oct. 6. Exports of both products were up when compared to the previous month and July 2025.
