Fuel ethanol exports in the U.S. 2010-2023
The United States exported 33.5 million barrels of fuel ethanol in 2023, an increase compared to the previous year. In 2019, exports decreased for the first time since 2015 largely due to lower import demand of the Brazilian market. Fuel ethanol is used in gasoline blends for regular combustion-engine run motor vehicles or as pure hydrous ethanol fuel for specifically designed engines.
