Our insights into regional Ethanol markets are provided by our network of reporters based locally in those markets.
This enables us to provide in-depth price assessments and market coverage that are reliable and up-to-date on the very latest developments.
Updated to Q3 2021
Supply of fuel ethanol in Q3 is expected to fall as elevated corn prices are expected to force producers to lower operating rates. Industrial ethanol supply is also expected to be moderated, although not to the levels of fuel ethanol.
Demand for fuel ethanol is expected to peak early in Q3 and then decline as the summer driving season ends. Demand for industrial ethanol is also expected to fall, although a strong housing market will place a floor on demand.
We offer the following regional Ethanol analysis and news coverage to keep you informed of factors and developments affecting prices in the US Ethanol marketplace.
