ETHANAL fuel is second only to coal as the most-transported fuel by rail, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
Ninety-five per cent of all US ethanol fuel deliveries between regions in the first half of 2022 were by rail.
Ninety-four per cent of the US capacity to produce ethanol fuel is in the Midwest. However, most of it is consumed in other regions.
In the first half of 2022, 97 per cent of the it delivered by rail originated in the Midwest.
Rail accounted for 96 per cent of the Midwest's fuel ethanol deliveries to the east coast and 90 per cent of deliveries to the Gulf Coast.
All such deliveries to the Rocky Mountain and west coast regions were transported from the Midwest by rail.
Primary energy commodities can be transported by pipeline, barge, rail, or truck. Fuel ethanol can corrode steel pipelines, so it's transported by rail, barge, or truck.
Nearly all motor gasoline sold in the US is 10 per cent ethanol by volume.
Fuel ethanol helps finished motor gasoline meet requirements for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) under the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
