The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has announced an all-time monthly production record of 166,000 barrels per day (b/d) was produced in November. This was the fourth all-time monthly record in a row for the industry. Production for the month was up 32 percent compared to last November when 126,000 b/d of ethanol were produced. ãWith Congress poised to return to work on a national energy bill in a few weeks, the ethanol industry continues to prove that they deserve a prominent place in the discussions,ä said Bob Dinneen, Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) president. ãAlready producing at a rate of more than 2.5 billion gallons a year, and with the capacity to do more, Congress must be more aggressive in promoting ethanol as part of the solution to our energy security problem. With instability in Venezuela and the Middle East, oil has gone back over $30 per barrel. There is an alternative ö homegrown ethanol.ä RFA says the ethanol industry is on track to produce an annual record of more than 2 billion gallons this year. Currently, 68 ethanol plants have the capacity to produce over 2.7 billion gallons annually. Nine additional plants are under construction.
