67 advanced biofuels projects aim for 2.32 billion gallons in capacity by 2014: Biofuels Digest Advanced Biofuels database v1.3
In Florida, Biofuels Digest released its updated, version 1.3 of the Advanced Biofuels Tracking Database, now featuring 67 announced projects with 2.322 billion gallons in announced capacity by 2014, and 107 million gallons of installed advanced biofuels capacity by the end of 2010.
Recently added projects include: UK Carbon Trust Algae consortium; the UK Carbon Trust pyrolysis consortium; the UOP-Aquaflow Bionomic project in Hopewell, Virginia; Greenfield Ethanol’s pilot plant in Ontario, Canada; Argentina’s National Technological University pilot algae project; the Buckeye Technologies pilot project in Perry, Florida; the Praj MATRIX pilot in Pune, India; France’s BioTfuel; Pond Biofuels in Ontario, Canada; Trenton Fuel Works in New Jersey; and the US Biofuels project at multiple sites in California.
Project revisions include a reduction in proposed capacity at the initial commercial-scale Coskata plant from 100 Mgy to 55 Mgy (projected to open in 2012), the addition of AE Biofuels 10 Mgy in commercial capacity this year in its California project, and the reduction in Range Fuels capacity from 20 Mgy to 4 Mgy.
Overall, two projects are now expected to be online with 10 Mgy or higher capacity in 2010 – from AE Biofuels and Dynamic Fuels, rising to eight in 2011 with the projected opening of projects from Gevo, Abengoa, Enerkem, Iogen, POET and LS9. An additional nine advanced biofuels projects (at 10 Mgy or more production capacity) are expected to open in 2012.
Overall, 46 advanced biofuels projects are expected to be in pilot-scale or higher production by the end of 2011.
The database contains project announcements and company guidance for 2014, but the data should be used carefully due to the long-range nature of those projects, which are subject to changes in capacity and market conditions.
