The U.S. exported a total of 621.5 million gallons (mg) of ethanol in 2013, the third-highest annual total on record, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data released February 6. Canada was by far the leading export market for the year, receiving 322 mg – or 52% of the total. The Philippines ranked second with 51.5 mg of imports, while Brazil (43.9 mg), the United Arab Emirates (39.5 mg) and Mexico (23.6 mg) rounded out the top five. Of total export shipments, 67% were classified as denatured fuel-grade ethanol, 31% were undenatured for fuel use and 2% were denatured and undenatured for non-fuel, non-beverage purposes.
