U.S. fuel ethanol production capacity was 13.9 billion gallons per year (g/y) (903,000 barrels per day, b/d) as of January 1, according to a May 20 report released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). The report showed a slight increase in the total capacity of operating ethanol plants compared to January 1, 2012.
