Notes: *Net Increase through Imports and Stock Change
This chart shows the trend in total ethanol fuel production and consumption from 2000 to 2018. Use of ethanol as a gasoline additive increased in an accelerating fashion from 2000 to 2010. Its use was spurred by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (and subsequent laws), which mandated the sale of oxygenated fuels in areas with unhealthy levels of carbon monoxide. Starting in 2010, E10 (an ethanol-gasoline blend containing 10 percent ethanol) is sold in all 50 states in order to boost octane, meet air quality requirements, or satisfy the Renewable Fuel Standard. Increases in ethanol use are also attributed to more widespread availability of flex-fuel vehicles, which can use blends as high as E85, and greater availability of E85 stations. The vast majority of ethanol used as vehicle fuel in the United States is produced domestically; the United States is the world's No. 1 ethanol producer, by volume. Since 2014, ethanol production has increased primarily because of large U.S. corn harvests cause by increased corn production and stable corn prices.
