The United States set a new record and exported 112,000 barrels per day (b/d) of fuel ethanol in 2018, according to the Energy Information Administration.
For the ninth consecutive year, the U.S. exported more fuel ethanol than imported. While exports surpassed the previous record of 91,000 b/d set in 2017, imports of fuel ethanol decreased by about 30% in 2018 to less than 4,000 b/d.
U.S. fuel ethanol exports grew nearly 25% in 2018 even though the number of export destinations decreased by half, to 17 destinations.
