Ethanol Production Down

Ethanol Producers may not be able to last much longer in these hard economic times. Production has gone down between August and September due to a bad economy and lower ethanol values.

According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), American ethanol facilities were producing 640,000 barrels per day (b/d) in September...but a slight decline from August production figures.

The slight reduction in ethanol production in September reflects some of the economic difficulty ethanol producers have experienced as a result of higher input costs, lower ethanol values, and the evaporation of credit in the market
