    Record US Ethanol Exports... Canada Biggest Customer

    WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S. — The U.S. exported 738.7
    million gallons (mg) of ethanol in 2012, the second-
    highest export total on record, according to newly
    released government data, the Renewable Fuels
    Association (RFA) said on Feb. 12.
    Still, exports in 2012 were down some 38% over the
    record-setting export volumes in 2011, the RFA said.
    Further, net exports totaled just 183.7 mg, as the U.S.
    imported substantial volumes of sugarcane ethanol
    from Brazil in the second half of 2012.
    Exports reached 55 mg in December 2012, the highest
    monthly total since July.
    Of the December total, 42 mg was denatured ethanol
    for fuel use, while 12.2 mg was undenatured ethanol
    intended for fuel use. Denatured and undenatured
    ethanol for uses other than fuel totaled roughly
    800,000 gallons.
    Canada was the leading destination for exports in
    December, receiving 34.9 mg. The Netherlands
    followed with 4.6 mg. Brazil (3.8 mg), Sweden (3.3
    mg), Finland (2.4 mg), and Peru (2.1 mg) were other
    top importers in December.
    For the entire year, Canada was the top destination for
    U.S. ethanol exports, receiving 235.8 mg — almost
    one-third of total exports, RFA said. The U.K. was
    second with 65.2 mg, while Brazil imported 59.5 mg.
    The Netherlands (39.7 mg), United Arab Emirates (31.5
    mg), Mexico (27.4 mg) and Peru (26.7 mg) were other
    top importers of U.S. ethanol in 2012.
    Meanwhile, December ethanol imports totaled 82.8
    mg. Brazil shipped 58.3 mg directly to the U.S., while
    the remainder came through the CBI countries of
    Jamaica (13.2 mg), El Salvador (6.7 mg), and Costa Rica
    (4.6 mg).
    Total imports for 2012 tallied at 555 mg, with 459.2
    mg (83%) coming directly from Brazil. Imports via
    Jamaica totaled 54.6 mg, while imports via El Salvador
    were 25 mg. Imports via Costa Rica for 2012 were 8.5
    mg, while limited quantities were imported via
    Guatemala and Nicaragua.

    Interesting...my vehicle can burn E85 fuel but NONE available at the pumps.
    Where are all these imported quantities of alcohol going? Where is our own production going?

      Its the lazy, crazy, wacky, world
      economy. Another example of the
      stupidity is in the lumber trade. Wood,
      2 x 4's from Albertie going ta BC, and
      the truck then loads 2 x 4's and brings
      BC would ta Albertie. What is the word
      the economy likes ta us redundancy?
      Stupidity is more like it, go buy a 2 x
      4 hunkawould, they charge like heck for
      this built in nonscence........ Butt
      that the way the open free market
      economy works, who'da thunk it. Me I
      like the wooden strawberries that are
      available in February in our
      Stupidmarkets, they taste oh soo good.
      WTF are they comin from? Sign Spring is
      round the corner though........ Comedia
      should buy somma the Bitchbubble that is
      currently fn the markets in the usa,
      hence drivin our crude prices agin sky
      higher!

          Burbs the only reason they keep bringing
          in wooden strawberries, is because
          people like you keep buying them. Just
          say no, burbs. Just say no.

            Its something like the cwb shipping
            wheat to Churchill and then sending it
            to Vancouver. And then wondering why the
            wgrf got millions in freight payments.

            Funny you never mention that in your
            straightjacket ramblings.

              Food4u,

              When we can grow 240bu/ac corn... THEN we can
              think about competitive production of Ethanol.

              YET When we get going with cellulose
              ethanol/methanol... then Canada will have plenty of
              feed stocks to supply motor fuels.

                This explains why our gas is $1.10/litre and our oil sands oil is having trouble bringing $60/barrel.

                  Is that number including that train that crossed the US/Canada border back and forth a hundred times?

                  Just asking, they have a funny way of counting stuff apparently, when it crosses the border.
