It is estimated that there were approximately 1,113 fuel ethanol refineries in the world's major producing countries in 2023. Gains in 2023 are expected to be largely driven by the introduction of new plants in India. Fuel ethanol is a biomass-derived motor fuel used as a substitute to or additive in petroleum-based gasoline. The United States holds the largest global ethanol production share.
