“To better illustrate how the emerging biofuels industry sector is growing toward its 10% in 10 years’ goal, the Biofuels Center of North Carolina produced a map of biofuels activity across the state in May 2010,” the Center said in its latest newsletter.
“North Carolina has made a commitment to replace 10% of the 5.6 billion gallons of petroleum it imports each year with home-grown and -produced biofuels. To accomplish that goal of approximately 600 million gallons a year of North Carolina biofuels by 2017, a range of needs must be met statewide for a new industry sector to fully develop.
“Since the Biofuels Center staff started work in January 2008, a considerable amount of progress has been made in fostering this new sector. To illustrate this progress, a placemat with a county-by-county snapshot of current biofuels activity across North Carolina was printed for the General Assembly cafeteria to help share information with legislators and members of the public visiting the legislature.”
