Nonetheless, renewable diesel stood out, with its operating income escalating to $170 million from $84 million in Q4 2023, partly due to amplified sales volumes and better margins. The ethanol ...
The U.S. ethanol industry is about to break under the weight of the Trump Administration's trade war with China and the surge in the number of small refineries exempted from the nation's biofuel ...
In the customers & products segment, BP expects results to be lower due to seasonally reduced volumes, weaker fuel margins, FX losses, and a one-off inventory adjustment from the bio-ethanol ...
Sugarcane ethanol has an energy balance seven times greater than corn ethanol. [101] As of 2007, Brazilian distiller production costs were 22 cents per liter, compared with 30 cents per liter for corn-based ethanol. [102] Corn-derived ethanol costs 30% more because the corn starch must first be converted to sugar before distillation into ...
