The Indian sugar industry is pressing the government to raise the target for ethanol blending in petrol from the current 20% (E20) to 27% (E27), citing unused capacity and investments made in ethanol production.

Brazil’s long-standing biofuel industry has been built around sugar-cane ethanol via the Proálcool programme. Now, corn-based ethanol is rapidly growing, and analysts project that by around 2034, corn ethanol production capacity in Brazil could reach ≈ 24.7 billion litres, nearly matching sugar-cane ethanol’s projected ~25 billion litres.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark – Novonesis has reported robust sales momentum, largely driven by its bioenergy business including ethanol and biodiesel solutions, underscoring the company’s expanding footprint in renewable fuel markets.

The MPOB emphasized that continued investment in biodiesel infrastructure and technology will be critical to meeting these targets. As global demand for renewable fuels grows, Malaysia is positioning itself as a key player in the biodiesel market, leveraging its status as one of the world’s largest palm oil producers.
