Calling 2020 a challenging year for US ethanol would be an understatement for many in the industry. The rapid loss in demand in an already oversupplied market resulted in a significant amount of facilities closing and reduced production.

As demand starts to rebound, logistical issues moving product out of the Chicago region has resulted in a steep backwardation. Meanwhile, ethanol continues to price at a premium to gasoline, triggering many to reconsider whether ethanol is the best source of octane. On the policy side, small refinery exemptions remain a contentious issue, with the Environmental Protection Agency yet to decide on numerous retroactive applications. On the feedstock side, corn planting looks to be much lower than the initial US Department of Agriculture estimates, adding upward support to ethanol prices.

The impact of COVID-19 is not only evident in domestic demand but international demand as well, with US ethanol exports relying on these markets to import excess US production.

Join S&P Global Platts editors and analysts in this vibrant webinar to learn the latest trends in US ethanol as well as the most current outlook for 2020 and 2021.
