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.

Energy Use in Light-Duty Vehicles
Notes: Engine losses are primarily from heat including vehicle exhaust, radiators, friction, combustion, and cooling. Parasitic losses are from external energy users in the vehicle such as water pumps and alternators. Drivetrain energy losses occur in components such as transmissions.
In the average light-duty vehicle (LDV), only 17% of the energy released from the fuel is delivered to the wheels and forward motion. The remaining energy is wasted largely through engine inefficiencies, drivetrain friction, and parasitic loads, such as water pumps and alternators. This leaves much opportunity for innovations to improve the efficiency of future LDVs.
