Pictured above, representatives from the Philippines National Biofuels Board, a key cross-department policymaking body for ethanol in the Philippines, inspected a blender fuel dispenser offering E10, E20, and E20 fuel blends in Elmhurst, Illinois in June.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Department of Energy\u2019s decision to increase the ethanol blend ceiling is a win for the consumers, environment and industry of the Philippines,\u201d said Caleb Wurth, the U.S. Grains Council\u2019s Regional Director for Southeast Asia & Oceania. \u201cThe Council and the U.S. ethanol industry are proud partners of the Philippines\u2019s ethanol industry and the Department of Energy as they strive to decarbonize transportation, bolster fuel security and lower pump prices for consumers. We stand ready to assist the Philippines in further ethanol expansion efforts as the Department of Energy aims to scale to a nationwide E20 blend mandate in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Philippines consumes 1.8 billion gallons of gasoline per year. Ethanol production there has increased nearly 450% since the E10 mandate began in 2013, delivering significant economic benefits to rural communities, alleviating pump prices for consumers and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector by more than 800 kilotons of carbon dioxide annually.<\/p>\n<p>The Philippines and the U.S. have long enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship throughout the development of the former\u2019s ethanol industry. The Philippines in 2023 imported 55 million gallons of ethanol from the U.S., accounting for 85% of all ethanol imports and 40% of the Philippines\u2019 total ethanol demand. U.S. ethanol imports continue to help lower the average price of ethanol in the country and stimulate further investment in domestic production capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The new E20 policy will immediately increase the potential ethanol demand in the Philippines by 86 million gallons.<\/p>\n","has_padding":false,"graphic_bg":false,"text_last":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2024-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panels\/212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2024-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panels"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2024-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/panels"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2024-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2024-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"commodities","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grains.org\/2024-annual-report\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/commodities?post=212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
