Ethanol Production Hits Two-Month Low
U.S. ethanol production declined to 1.053 million barrels per day for the week ending March 21, 2025, marking the lowest output since January 24. This 5% decrease from the prior week’s 1.105 million barrels per day was primarily due to reduced production in the Midwest region.
The Energy Information Administration says ethanol output in the U.S. dropped to its lowest level in almost two months during the week ending on March 21. The agency said production fell to an average of 1.053 million barrels a day during those seven days. That’s down from 1.105 million barrels a day during the prior week and the lowest since the seven days ending on January 24. Midwest output averaged 1.002 million barrels a day, down from 1.057 million the week prior. The EIA says that’s the entirety of the weekly losses, as three regions saw no change in their production. Gulf Coast output was steady at 19,000 barrels a day, Rocky Mountain production was unchanged at 11,000 barrels a day, and West Coast output was 10,000 barrels a day. East Coast production was the only gainer, reaching 11,000 barrels a day from 9,000 a day a week earlier.
