USDA: Corn use for fuel ethanol production at 456 million bushels in July
The USDA’s September Grain Crushings report shows U.S. corn use for fuel ethanol at 456M bushels in July, up 2% from June but down 6% year-on-year. Overall corn use was 506M bushels. Co-product trends were mixed: corn oil rose, distillers dried grains with solubles declined, while captured CO₂ increased.
The USDA recently released its Grain Crushings and Co-Products Production report for September, reporting that corn use for fuel ethanol production in July was down approximately 6% when compared to the same month of last year.
Total corn consumed for alcohol and other uses was 506 million bushels in July, up 2% when compared to the previous month, but down 6% when compared to July 2024. July usage included 92.2% for alcohol and 7.8% for other purposes.
Corn use for fuel alcohol was at 456 million bushels in July, up 2% when compared to June, but down 6% when compared to July of last year. Corn consumed in July for dry milling fuel production and wet milling fuel production was at 91.9% and 8.1%, respectively.
At dry mills, condensed distillers solubles production expanded to 123,979 tons in July, up from 107,201 tons in June and 90,835 tons in July 2024. Corn oil production reached 210,363 tons, up from 202,137 tons the previous month and 204,818 tons in July of last year. Distillers dried grains production was at 383,050 tons, down from 363,604 tons in June, but up from 392,863 tons in July 2024. Distillers dried grains with solubles production fell to 1.86 million tons, down from 1.88 million tons in June and nearly 2 million tons in July of last year. Distillers wet grains production fell to 1.19 million tons, down from 1.21 million tons the previous month and 1.22 million tons in July 2024. Modified distillers wet grains production was at 392,468 tons, up from 381,861 tons the previous month, but down from 396,354 tons in July of last year.
At wet mills, corn germ meal production was at 57,890 tons in July, up from 56,142 tons in June, but down from 65,601 tons July 2024. Corn gluten feed production was at 255,725 tons, up from 249,867 tons the previous month, but down from 293,887 tons in July of last year. Corn gluten meal production was at 106,153 tons, up from 105,998 tons in June, but down from 118,626 tons in July 2024. Wet corn gluten feed production was at 191,347 tons, up from 187,424 tons the previous month, but down from 210,013 tons in July of the previous year.
At dry and wet mills, carbon dioxide captured reached 258,140 tons in July, up from both 250,897 tons in June and 234,156 tons in July 2024.
