BioFuels Atlas
BioFuels Atlas is an interactive map for comparing biomass feedstocks and biofuels by location. This tool helps users select from and apply biomass data layers to a map, as well as query and download biofuels and feedstock data. The state zoom function summarizes state energy use and infrastructure for traditional and bioenergy power, fuels, and resources. The tool also calculates the biofuels potential for a given area. BioFuels Atlas was developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory with funding from the DOE Biomass Program.

Share of All U.S. Vehicle Trips by Length (miles)
Source: Oak Ridge National Laboratory. National Household Travel Survey. Accessed 2-12-2019.
This chart shows the distribution of trip lengths among all vehicle trips in the U.S. A substantial majority of U.S. vehicle trips are less than 6 miles long, and only about 5% are longer than 30 miles. This can inform EV manufacturers as they determine the required battery size for electric vehicles and developers of charging networks as they determine where chargers are likely to be needed. See also: Average Vehicle Trip Length by Purpose.
