Argentina

In Argentina, the Argentine Renewable Energies Chamber has released its latest study in its State of the Biofuels Industry series, covering the B5 and E5 mandates that began this year.

Ethanol highlights: The domestic market for ethanol is comprised of nine companies in NW Argentina, all of whom use sugarcane as feedstock; as installed capacity grows according to a very specific monthly program, Argentina will end 2010 with an overall ethanol blending that is very close to the mandated E5; the domestic ethanol market will generate the equivalent of some US$200 million a year; due to the slow start in 2010, it will only reach about US$150 million this year.
