Several countries increased their ethanol fuel production considerably in 2009. The biggest producer is still France with an annual output in 2009 of 1.250 billion liters, an increase of 25 percent compared to 2008. The second largest producing country is Germany, which constantly increased its production by 32 percent to 750 million liters (568 in 2008). Third biggest producer remained Spain with 465 million liters (up 46 percent compared to 2008). In six out of 18 producing member states, the production declined while 10 increased production volumes and eight remained steady.<br /> <br /> Notably in 2009, Austria and Sweden more than doubled their fuel ethanol output. Austria’s 102 percent growth ranks it fourth in EU production and Sweden’s 124 percent growth puts it in fifth place.<br /> <br /> © 2010 BBI International Media <br /> Captcha: Please Enter Code : * Time Zone: * Select the time zone Vocabularies Newsletter: Domain: Show summary in full view Input format Filtered HTML Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
