2011年の米国のエタノール生産量は139億4,900万ｶﾞﾛﾝ/年（前年比105%）であった。一方、需要は139億8,900万ｶﾞﾛﾝ/年（前年比106%）であった。（＊参照）エタノールの原料は製造方法が発酵法の場合はグルコース、フルクトース、ショ糖等の糖であり、合成法の場合はエチレンと水である。エタノールの製法の約95%は発酵法であり、その原料としては米国ではトウモロコシ、ブラジルではサトウキビ、欧州では小麦が用いられる。

The United States ethanol production volume for 2011 was 13.949 billion gallons per year (105% increase from last year). However, the demand was 13.989 billion gallons per year (106% increase from last year). The basic ingredients of ethanol are sugars such as glucose, fructose, cane sugar, etc when using a fermentation production method and when using a synthetic method, they are ethylene and water. Ninety-five percent of the ethanol manufacturing process is done using the fermentation method and in the United States those ingredients come from corn, in Brazil from sugar cane, and in Europe from wheat.

Ethanol production in the United States in 2011 was 13.949 billion gallons (a 105% increase year-on-year). On the other hand, the ethanol demand was 13. 989 billion gallons (a 106% increase year-on-year). (See *) Raw materials for ethanol is glucose, fructose, sucrose or other sugars, if made using fermentation method, or water and ethylene, if made using synthetic method. Approximately 95% of ethanol production uses fermentation method, and for its raw material, corn is used in the United states, while sugar cane is used in Brazil and wheat in Europe.
