The Ethanol Transportation Backgrounder is an overview of transportation issues facing a rapidly expanding U.S. ethanol industry in the context of the U.S. corn market—currently the main source of ethanol production in the United States. The aim of the report is to present a frame of reference as the ethanol industry continues to grow and additional transportation benchmarks and indicators develop by providing an analysis of transportation requirements for corn-based ethanol and its impact on grain transportation.
