Ethanol Report on Exports
As Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) president Bob Dinneen was in Seville, Spain talking about American ethanol in the world market, the organization released a new report on rising U.S. ethanol exports.
“The Paradox of Rising U.S. Ethanol Exports: Increased Market Opportunities at the Expense of Enhanced National Energy Security?” highlights how the nation quickly evolving from a net importer of ethanol into a net exporter, sending our home-grown fuel to countries like Canada and the Netherlands, and even Brazil and OPEC nations in Middle East.
The question becomes, do we want to export our biofuels and the benefits they provide, or do we want to use them here at home to help secure our energy future? Or both?
RFA’s Matt Hartwig discusses the issue in this edition of “The Ethanol Report.”

what a scam!!
these companies are getting tax dollars and tax breaks @ at the expense of American tax payers to create “energy independence” and they are going to export the ethanol now?
where is congress? they should put a ban on any exports of US produced ethanol/biofuels.
It cant be both ways!! the greed of the ethanol industry and lobby has to come to an end.
We all know the facts of costs of ethanol production to the environment, soil, our water ways and its real energy yield and carbon foot print. Why is that the ethanol industry wants to wipe out facts about land use changes??
The entire alternative fuels industry should shun the food crop feedstocks and devote the resources to non food crop based biofuels.
