The Philippines is a sugar-producing country, and sugarcane is grown mainly in the islands of Negros, Luzon, Panay and Mindanao. Despite growing demand for sugar, there are still an estimated 90,750 hectares (224,000 acres) of sugarcane available that can be used for ethanol production, and high-yielding varieties of sugarcane are available.

This volume was 96% of the total petroleum supply, reflecting the country's tremendous dependence on imported fossil fuel. The Philippines’ total indigenous local energy production (including coal, oil, natural gas, geothermal, hydropower, biomass, solar and wind) was 139.72 MMBFOE, which in 2004 translated to energy self-sufficiency level of ...
The consumption of bioethanol in Europe is largest in Sweden, France and Spain. Germany's bioethanol market vanished completely after the removal of federal tax incentives after 2015. Europe produces equivalent to 90% of its consumption (2006). Germany produced about 70% of its consumption, Spain 60% and Sweden 50% (2006).
The projected raw sugar production for the crop year 2021–2022 was 1.80 million metric tons, a 16% drop from the previous year's 2,143,018 metric tons. The country produced less sugar in 2022 than in 2021 and was expected to produce even less in 2021–2022.
The Philippines Biofuel Act of 2006, RA 9376 mandates an increase of the minimum 5% bioethanol blend (E5) in gasoline to 10% ethanol blend (E10). In 2011, 600 million liters of gasoline was consumed by car owners in the Philippines, if the 10% bioethanol blend would be followed, this would be equivalent to 1 million metric tons of sugar.
The efficiency of the bioethanol compared with standard gasoline; The amount of carbon dioxide produced at the tail pipe. The benefits due to the production of useful bi-products, such as cattle feed or electricity. The graph on the right shows figures calculated by the UK government for the purposes of the Renewable transport fuel obligation. [78]
Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) administrator Hermenegildo Serafica noted a decrease of sugar output in the Philippines for the 2021–22 crop year.Only 1.8 million metric tons (MT) was produced by June 15 in contrast to the 2.12 million MT output produced by June 13 of the 2020–21 crop year.
The world's top ethanol fuel producer in 2010 was the United States with 13.2 billion U.S. gallons (49.95 billion liters) representing 57.5% of global production, followed by Brazil with 6.92 billion U.S. gallons (26.19 billion liters), and together both countries accounted for 88% of the world production of 22.95 billion U.S. gallons (86.85 ...
