The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has published (2 December) its 2024 report on ethanol market concentration, as mandated by the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
The annual review evaluates competition levels in the U.S. ethanol production industry to identify potential risks of price-setting or anticompetitive behavior.
This year’s report reaffirms that the industry remains sufficiently competitive, with no significant risk of market power being used to manipulate prices or output on a nationwide scale.
The report was unanimously approved by the FTC Commissioners with a 5-0 vote. Christopher Grengs of the Bureau of Competition led the analysis.
The FTC continues to monitor industry practices to ensure fair competition and consumer protection in the energy sector.
