Finnish biotech company Enifer has announced that its proprietary PEKILO fermentation technology will be deployed for the first time in Latin America in collaboration with FS, one of Brazil’s leading producers of ethanol.
A longtime industry organization has a new name that it says better reflects its multipronged focus on distillers industries and their evolution—Distillers Technology Council.
The U.S. exported 172.27 million gallons of ethanol in April and 894,197 metric tons of distillers grains, according to data released by the USDA on June 5. Exports of both products remained strong, but were down when compared to April 2024.
With a keynote address by President and CEO Geoff Cooper, the Renewable Fuels Association will have a strong presence onstage and elsewhere during the International Fuel Ethanol Workshop and Expo, taking place June 9–11 in Omaha.
U.S. fuel ethanol production was up nearly 5% the week ending May 30, according to data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration on June 4. Weekly ending stocks of fuel ethanol were up 1% and exports were up 127%.
