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: Production capacity listed as under expansion or under construction is not presented in this chart.
This chart shows the number of ethanol plants in the U.S. from 1999 through 2014. The capacity of these plants has been increasing at a faster rate than has the number of plants, meaning the average plant size is increasing. Production is remarkably close to plant capacity, especially considering that both are tracked at the end of each year, so plants built late in the year contribute largely towards capacity but only partially toward production. Production dropped in 2012 due to a drought that reduced the corn crop.
