Global Ethanol Association and DNV Launch Three-Year Ethanol Data Intelligence Partnership
The Global Ethanol Association and DNV have signed a three-year agreement to develop a global ethanol database to improve transparency within the fuel-grade market.
The Global Ethanol Association and DNV have established a three-year Ethanol Data Intelligence Partnership focused on expanding ethanol research. According to Hellenic Shipping News, the collaboration aims to build a structured global database providing ongoing updates and data maintenance. This new resource will be integrated into DNV’s existing Alternative Fuels Insight platform to support maritime and energy sector users.
The initiative focuses on collecting traceable information regarding ethanol production facilities, including their physical locations, capacities, and feedstock types. By organizing previously fragmented information into a verified market intelligence framework, the groups intend to eliminate information gaps for industry participants. The partnership emphasizes data quality, utilizing both publicly accessible records and other verifiable documentation to map the fuel's global landscape.
Sylvain Zurcher, President of the Global Ethanol Association, stated that the objective is to "transform fragmented information into structured and traceable market intelligence" to aid decision-making. DNV representatives noted that the addition of this verified data will allow users to investigate ethanol as a shipping fuel pathway. This data project complements current efforts by both organizations in the marine and aviation fuel sectors.
