據(jù)ICIS網(wǎng)站7月8日消息 美國(guó)能源信息署（EIA）數(shù)據(jù)顯示，上周汽油和燃料乙醇需求增加，美國(guó)燃料乙醇現(xiàn)貨價(jià)格本周上漲。

據(jù)消息人士透露，自7月4日以來(lái)，美國(guó)加油站的汽油銷(xiāo)量已經(jīng)下降。在確診病例較多的州，需求翻了一番。與此同時(shí)，煉油廠(chǎng)繼續(xù)提高利用率。

由于美國(guó)獨(dú)立日假期推遲，第三季度行業(yè)合同仍在協(xié)商中，但仍受到強(qiáng)勁需求和供應(yīng)不足的壓力。

乙醇被用作汽油混合原料、制藥、食品和飲料應(yīng)用，如洗手液和伏特加。

US fuel ethanol prices rise, industrial demand remains strong

US spot fuel ethanol prices rose this week as the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) numbers showed that demand for gasoline and fuel ethanol were boosted last week.

US gasoline sales at the pump have fallen off since 4 July, according to sources. Demand in states with a high amount of confirmed coronavirus cases has doubled. Meanwhile, refiners continue to raise utilisation rates.

Q3 industrial contracts remain under discussion, delayed by the Independence Day holiday in the US, but remain pressured by strong demand and little available supply.

Ethanol is used as a gasoline blendstock, in pharmaceuticals, and in food and beverage applications, such as hand sanitizers and vodka.
