Agriculture and Agrifood Canada Bi-weekly Bulletin: Ethanol

Ottawa, Canada
December 8, 2006

Agriculture and Agrifood Canada
Bi-weekly Bulletin Volume 19 Number 18

Ethanol

SUMMARY

World ethanol production is expected to exceed 15 billion imperial gallons (Ggal) by 2007, as the ethanol
industry continues to experience double digit growth. Much of that growth has been in the United
States (U.S.) where about 100 plants are now in operation and another 50 plants are either in the
planning or construction stage. With that pace of expansion, the U.S. is soon expected to surpass Brazil
as the leading producer of ethanol. Canada also has plans to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and lower
green house gases by expanding ethanol production, albeit on a much smaller scale. This issue of the Biweekly
Bulletin examines the ethanol industry and looks at the implications for Canada’s grains and
oilseeds sector. For information on biodiesel, please refer to Bi-weekly Bulletin, Volume 19 Number 15,
entitled “Biodiesel”.
