There’s no shortage of advanced biofuel projects in North Carolina, from emerging second-generation projects we cover in Biorefining Magazine on a continual basis to established biodiesel plants we follow in Biodiesel Magazine.
North Carolina's goal is, by 2017, to have 10 percent of liquid fuels sold in the state be biofuels that are grown and produced within its borders. One entity helping to accomplish this is the Biofuels Center of North Carolina and its grants program.
