Record Corn Crop will Boost Biofuel Market
May 14, 2011The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has released data projecting corn production for 2011/12 at a record 13.5 billion bushels, up 1.1 billion from 2010/11 as a 4.0-million-acre increase in intended plantings and a recovery from last year’s weather-reduced yields boost expected output. The 2011/12 corn yield is projected at 158.7 bushels per acre. The 2011/12 yield is expected to be the third highest on record. Corn supplies for 2011/12 are projected at 14.3 billion bushels. Corn use for ethanol is projected up 50 million bushels reflecting slow expected growth in gasoline consumption and continued export demand for ethanol in the coming year. According to Global Biofuel Production Forecast 2015-2020 corn will remain the major ethanol feedstock in the period 2015-2020, only gradually losing its share to advanced biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol and algae ethanol.
Projected 50 Million bushels of corn for ethanol (with a corn-to-ethanol conversion rate of 2.7 gallons per bushel ) will yield 132 million gallons of ethanol (or 3 million barrel), a rough equivalent of 10% of monthly U.S. oil imports from Saudi Arabia.
