Biofuels
Global biofuelsproduction stagnated, rising by just 0.7% or 10,000 barrels per day oil equivalent(b/doe), the weakest annual growth since 2000
World biofuels production grew by 0.7% in 2011, the smallest increase since 2000. Increased output in North America was offset by declines in South & Central America and Europe. Biodiesel accounts for just 27.5% of global biofuels output, but accounted for all of the growth in global biofuels output. Global ethanol output declined by 1.4%.
Growth in the US (+55,000 b/doe, or 10.9%) slowed as the share of ethanol in gasoline approached the ‘blendwall’, and Brazilian output had the largest decline in our data set (-50,000 b/doe, or -15.3%) due to a poor sugar harvest.
