The Northeast region will be adjusted first, and other regions may follow suit. In terms of coal-to-ethanol: Market prices are volatile and operating strongly. In terms of anhydrous ethanol: Recently, the supply in waterless fields has maintained a tight balance, with downstream procurement mainly on demand, and the holders still have the intention to increase prices. Fuel ethanol: The operation is stabilizing, and there is a strong wait-and-see attitude on the market, but it is still affected by the supply of low-cost coal on the market.
