Guatemala has officially launched its nationwide ethanol-gasoline blending program, becoming the first Central American country to mandate an E10 blend — more than 40 years after enacting its biofuels law.
The U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council, with support from USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service through the Market Access Program, delivered a technical assistance program to one of Colombia’s leading dairy and feed companies.
The government of Brazil on Aug. 12 published a decree that establishes rules and regulations for the country’s sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandate, formally referred to as the National Sustainable Aviation Fuel Program (ProBioQAV).
The USGBC recently hosted a high-level delegation from Guatemala for a trade and learning mission to Washington, D.C. and Indiana to strengthen bilateral cooperation and support the country’s national E10 ethanol blending program.
U.S. fuel ethanol production expanded by 1% the week ending Aug. 7, according to data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Aug. 12. Weekly ending stocks of fuel ethanol were also up 1% while exports fell by nearly 46%.
