The United States is the world leader in the supply and export of ethanol and has been a net exporter of ethanol for 16 consecutive years, as national commitments to reduce GHG emissions, improve air quality, and reduce consumer fuel prices have served as critical drivers. In 2025, U.S. ethanol exports reached a record 2.2 billion gallons, representing an important and growing market for U.S. ethanol producers. Record domestic ethanol production allows the U.S. to dominate global markets with cost-competitive, cleaner-burning ethanol.
The U.S. ethanol industry is one of the world’s largest producers of high-protein, low-cost feed for livestock, poultry, and other animals.
