United States Ethanol Market Report Presents Clearly Presented Accurate And Comprehensive Statistics Up To 2006 And 2007

Posted on: Tuesday, 30 October 2007, 09:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c73028) has announced the addition of "The United States Ethanol Market 2007" to their offering.

Between 2001 and 2007, U.S. fuel ethanol production capacity grew 220% from 1.9 billion to 6.1 billion gallons. Much of this growth was made possible by government regulation and legislation that actively supports the ethanol industry by creating mandatory ethanol demand and financially attractive investment opportunities in ethanol production capacity. The market is becoming mature with an increasing number of IPO's, M&A activity and large R&D investments. Although the U.S. have become the largest fuel ethanol producer in the world, specific market characteristics such as the geographic distribution of production versus consumption, the lack of infrastructural development for fuel ethanol distribution and transportation, types of ownership and the limited production capacity of corn, will all have a significant impact on future development. This ethanol market report was written for professionals in the industry, to provide a clear understanding of the most important characteristics of the U.S. ethanol market.

Introduction

Background

In 2005 the United States became the largest fuel ethanol producer in the world, surpassing the most developed ethanol nation, Brazil. Together they now account for 69% of global ethanol production. After hurricane Katrina and increasing tensions in the Middle-East, oil prices spiked to $70/barrel and the United States became increasingly aware of their economy's dependence on oil, or as George W. Bush called it: "America's addiction to oil". Ethanol is now seen as one of the primary means to reduce oil imports and eventually to follow the Brazilian example, which became energy independent in 2006. Well placed subsidies, multi-stage import tariffs and mandatory blending programs are currently providing the basis for robust market development. Enormous investments are made every day by both governments and companies, new expansions are announced every month and the media attention is enormous. The U.S. fuel ethanol industry is booming and investors, producers, managers and academics, both foreign and domestic, are looking with great interest to current developments. Reliable and comprehensive information is however hard to find and spread out over several dozens of reports, using different methodologies and reported in different units.
