PARIS (Reuters) - Ethanol consumption in France, the largest consumer along with Germany, rose around 6% to 16 million hectolitres in 2024, in line with an increase in overall gasoline use, producers' group Bioethanol France said on Tuesday.

Ethanol, made from sugar beets and grains in France, is blended with gasoline with a share that can rise up to 85% in so-called E85.

However, after a sharp rise in recent years, E85 consumption in 2024 fell for the first time since records started in 2011.

This was mainly due to new car models which consume less fuel than older ones, Bioethanol France Secretary General Sylvain Demoures told reporters.
