UNICA, the Brazilian sugarcane industry association, has reported that ethanol production was up during the second half of January with more than 96% of production coming from corn. Ethanol sales were also up for the full month.
The USDA maintained its forecast for 2024-’25 corn use in ethanol in its latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, released Feb. 11. The outlook for corn prices, however, was increased.
On Jan. 30, Rep. Nikki Budzinski, D-Ill, visited the National Corn-to-Ethanol Research Center at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville to tour the ethanol research pilot plant that specializes in advancing biofuels.
In January, the USGC and the NCGA jointly held the 1st Corn Sustainability Strategy Session to discuss the U.S. corn industry’s plans to leverage its sustainable practices and respond to market requirements across domestic and global supply chains.
The March issue of Ethanol Producer Magazine focuses on low-carbon feedstock production, plant improvement projects, and New Energy Blue's cellulosic project.
