| 摘要： | For the first 6 months of 2007, U.S. ethanol production totaled nearly 3 billion gallons - 32 percent higher than the same period last year. As of August 29, there were 128 ethanol plants with annual production capacity totaling 6.78 billion gallons, and an additional 85 plants were under construction. U.S. ethanol production capacity is expanding rapidly and is currently expected to exceed 13 billion gallons per year by early 2009, if not sooner. Ethanol demand has increased corn prices and led to expanded corn production, which is affecting grain transportation as corn use shifts from exports and feed use to ethanol production. Most ethanol is currently produced in the Nation's heartland, but 80 percent of the U.S. population (and therefore implied ethanol demand) lives along its coastlines. |
