EIA expects stable U.S. biofuels production, consumption, and trade through 2020">EIA expects stable U.S. biofuels production, consumption, and trade through 2020
(Fri, 01 Mar 2019) In its February 2019 <em>Short-Term Energy Outlook</em> (STEO), EIA forecasts that several recent trends in U.S. biofuels markets will continue through 2020. In the STEO, production of fuel ethanol and net imports of biomass-based diesel stay unchanged, while net exports of fuel ethanol decline modestly. Federal mandates and state programs continue to support biofuel consumption through 2020, however, biofuels remain a relatively small share of total U.S. liquid transportation fuels supply.
