美国乙醇价格创历史新低 工业需求走强

据ICIS网站3月25日消息 美国燃料乙醇价格本周继续大幅下跌，并创下又一个历史新低。

燃料乙醇的供应仍然充足，而随着该行业需求持续攀升，一些生产商正转向工业乙醇生产。

夏季驾驶季节的状况仍然存在疑问，从而阻碍了需求，燃料乙醇的需求旺季为夏季。

据消息人士称，燃料乙醇需求几乎减半，目前美国45%的燃料需求都在家完成订购。

美国乙醇生产商开始减少燃料乙醇的生产，随着疫情继续对燃料市场造成压力，并增加对消毒剂生产的需求，一些乙醇生产商正将注意力转移至工业生产上。

US ethanol prices set a new record low, industrial demand continues to strengthen

US fuel ethanol prices continued to fall sharply this week and set yet another record low.

Supply of fuel ethanol remains ample while some producers are switching to industrial ethanol production as demand from that sector continues to climb.

The state of the summer driving season remains in question, which is hampering demand. Fuel ethanol's peak demand season is the summer.

Fuel ethanol demand is almost halved, according to sources, as 45% of fuel demand is currently on stay at home orders in the US.

US ethanol producers are starting to reduce production of fuel ethanol and some are shifting their focus to industrial production as the coronavirus continues to pressure fuel markets and increasing the need for sanitiser production.
