MarketResearchAnalyst.com announces the addition of “World’s Ethanol Production Forecast 2008 - 2012” to their offering.

According to the MarketResearchAnalyst.com information the top five ethanol producers in 2006 were the United States (4.855 billion US gallons per year (bgy), Brazil (4.491 bgy), China (1.017 bgy), India (0.502 bgy) and France (0.251 bgy). Brazil and the United States accounted for 90 percent of all ethanol production. Also, it should be noted that the United States, now producing at a rate of about 4.6 billion US gallons per year, is widely considered the world’s largest ethanol producer. Strong incentives, coupled with other industry development initiatives, are giving rise to fledgling ethanol industries in countries such as Thailand, the Philippines, Colombia, the Dominican Republic and Malawi. Nevertheless, ethanol has yet to make a dent in world oil consumption.

* U.S. and Brazil are leading the world in production of ethanol.

* Emergence of new ethanol producers in Asia and Latin America.

* Cuba has the capacity to manufacture as much as 3.2 billion gallons of ethanol annually from its sugar crop.

South America's largest country is the world's reigning ethanol king, producing 4.4 billion gallons (16.5 billion liters) of the biofuel from sugarcane each year, on average. Biofuel is widely considered a way to reduce greenhouse gases from fossil fuel use and thereby reduce human-caused global warming.
