Peru: Biofuels Annual
Ethanol production for calendar year (CY) 2016 is forecast at 160 million liters, a 33 percent reduction from our CY 2015 estimate. This sharp decrease is attributed by the decommissioning of the former Maple Ethanol plant. We forecast domestic ethanol consumption at 172 million liters in CY 2016. Peru will not produce biodiesel in CY 2015, nor will it likely produce any biodiesel in CY 2016. Ethanol imports in CY 2016 are forecast at 80 million liters, increasing 5 million liters from the 2015 estimate.
