美国乙醇期货再创历史新低

据ICIS网站3月23日消息 美国燃料乙醇期货周一再次跌至创纪录低点，超过了此前的纪录。

因对夏季驾驶季节未来的担忧增加，4月乙醇期货结算价为88.3美分/加仑。

由于洗手液需求增加，美国工业乙醇市场继续收紧。

疫情已经使消毒剂的需求量大幅增长，导致生产商的生产压力更大。

由于烟酒税和贸易局（TTB）设立了豁免条款，允许某些酒精燃料许可证持有商出售工业乙醇用于生产洗手液，一些燃料乙醇生产商现在正转而生产用于消毒的乙醇。

但是并非所有的燃料乙醇工厂都能转移至工业生产，因为转移程序也较为复杂。

US ethanol futures hit another record low

US fuel ethanol futures fell again on Monday to record lows, surpassing the previous records.

Front month April ethanol futures settled at 88.3 cents/gal as concerns around the future of the summer driving season mount.

The US industrial ethanol market continues to tighten amid increased demand for hand sanitzers.

The coronavirus has made sanitzers and disinfectants in high demand, resulting in pressure from producers to produce more.

Some fuel ethanol producers are now switching to produce ethanol for sanitizers as the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) created exemptions allowing certain alcohol fuel permit holders to sell industrial ethanol for use in the production of hand sanitisers.

Although not all fuel ethanol plants are built to able to shift to industrial production and the ones that are can be complicated to transfer.
