The aquaculture sector around the world continues to grow, and the U.S. Grains Council is working to create further awareness of the use of distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and corn fermented protein (CFP) in the feed being used.
U.S. fuel ethanol production was up nearly 4% the week ending May 10, according to data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration on May 15. Stocks of fuel ethanol were up 1% and exports were down 49%.
In April, the U.S. Grains Council led a group of Japanese journalists interested in biofuel production on a tour of several U.S. ethanol plants and organized meetings with supply chain leaders and policymakers.
Leaders of the U.S. ethanol industry are seeking to intervene in a legal challenge of the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation, which effectively bans the use of renewable, crop-based biofuels like corn ethanol as a feedstock for SAF.
The U.S. Grains Council’s Southeast Asia and Oceania team recently participated in two leading bioenergy conferences in the region, underscoring the pertinent role ethanol can play in emerging new-use areas for transportation decarbonization.
