RFA: 2025 Ethanol Exports Set a Record

According to data from the Census Bureau, 2025 U.S. ethanol exports through November totaled 1.96 billion gallons, already surpassing the 1.94 billion in 2024, which had smashed the previous record. With one month of data to go, exports were on pace to exceed two billion gallons for the first time, which would represent 13 percent of U.S. ethanol production, also a record. “Continued expansion in the export market provided a tremendous lift for the U.S. ethanol industry in 2025,” said RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper. “Record exports not only highlight the growing global demand for affordable energy solutions, but also underscore the vital role trade plays in strengthening the American energy sector, driving innovation, and supporting economic growth.” He also said one out of every eight gallons of ethanol produced in the U.S. is being exported, providing savings at the pump and cleaner air for drivers in dozens of countries across the globe.
