The U.S. Energy Information Administration has published the March edition of its Short-Term Energy Outlook, slightly increasing its 2014 ethanol forecast. The EIA now predicts ethanol production will average 910,000 barrels per day in 2014.
Xcel Energy has announced that Minnesota regulators recently approved 29 renewable energy projects to receive $42 million in grants from Excel Energy's Renewable Development Fund, including several bioenergy projects.
California-based Pixley Biogas has been given final approval for a $4.68 million dollar grant from the California Energy Commission. The anaerobic digester will take in dairy farm manure as substrate and supply power to an adjacent ethanol plant.
Ethanol producers have been enjoying one of their best periods of profitability ever, but the recent run of profits is unlikely to continue for an extended time, said University of Illinois economist Scott Irwin in a recent FarmDocDaily post.
