Global Ethanol Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol, is a colorless liquid produced by fermenting carbohydrates found in a number of different types of grains, such as corn, wheat and sorghum, and other cellulosic matter found in plants. Most of the ethanol produced in the United States is made from corn because it contains large quantities of carbohydrates that convert into glucose more easily than most other kinds of biomass, can be handled efficiently and is in greater supply than other grains. One bushel, or 56 pounds, of corn, produces approximately 2.8 gallons of ethanol, 16.5 pounds of distiller grains and 0.6 pounds of corn oil. Outside of the Unites States, sugarcane is the primary feedstock used in ethanol production.

In United States, Ethanol key players include Archer Daniels Midland, POET Biorefining, Valero, Green Plains, etc. Global top four manufacturers hold a share about 40%.

In terms of product, Corn Based Ethanol is the largest segment, with a share over 95%. And in terms of application, the largest application is E10, followed by E85, E15.
