The Renewable Fuels Association released its 2026 Ethanol Industry Outlook and Pocket Guide this week in Orlando to kick off the 31st annual National Ethanol Conference. These publications serve as the go-to source of ethanol industry information, facts, and statistics, and follow the NEC theme of “Ethanol Unleashed.”

The Annual Ethanol Outlook provides the facts and data on ethanol’s benefits, as well as the roadmap for expanding those benefits through the removal of barriers and roadblocks to increased ethanol production and use worldwide. The Outlook also features an updated listing of all U.S. ethanol biorefineries.

Since 2001, the annual Outlook publication has provided policymakers, regulators, consumers, the media, and renewable fuel advocates with key statistics, trends, insight, and analysis on the latest developments in the U.S. ethanol industry, as well as commentary on what to expect in the coming year. The publication is recognized worldwide as the go-to source for ethanol industry facts, while also featuring a detailed fold-out listing of every fuel ethanol plant in the country, along with production capacity. The Pocket Guide to Ethanol contains much of the same information as the Outlook, but in an abbreviated format and smaller size for ease of use.
