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.

Notes: Data snapshots for each year are based on the federal fiscal year and taken as close to September 30th of the indicated year as possible. All attempts were made to space data samples out one year. However, this was not always possible due to when the TEDB samples were taken. This caused the largest disturbance in 2004, when the sample was taken only five months after the 2003 sample. Therefore, data trends are understated between 2003 and 2004. See Refuel Stations by State for exact sampling dates.
This chart shows the trend of U.S. alternative fueling stations by fuel type from 1992 to 2018. Propane stations were the most numerous until 2011, when they were surpassed by electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), or charging units. The growth in EVSE units accelerated starting in 2011, following the 2010 increase of plug-in electric vehicles offered by major automakers. 2016 experienced the largest growth for EVSE in order to support the growing electric vehicle population, followed closely by 2017 and 2018. The number of EVSE is expected to increase as the population of electric vehicles continues to grow. The number of E85 stations has been increasing steadily since 2004 as the number of flex-fuel vehicles available from major manufacturers has increased. The number of CNG stations decreased between 1996 and 2006 (despite the increase in CNG sales during this time) largely because the average station size was increasing.
Station counts include both public and private stations.
* Starting in 2011, electric charge equipment was counted by the plug rather than by the geographical location. This is different than other fuels, which only count the geographical location regardless of how many dispensers or nozzles are on site.
** Stations selling low-level biodiesel blends (less than B20) are included in the station listing only for the years 2005-2007
*** Total is the total number of fuel types sold at stations. Stations are counted once for each type of fuel sold.
