Global database of biofuel plants launches: 906 plants worldwide

In the Netherlands, entrepreneur Carlo Bakker has launched a global database of biofuel plants, called worldbioplants.com. The website includes information on 906 biofuel plants, including 549 ethanol plants and 357 biodiesel plants in 51 countries.

The increase in biofuel plants and fuel outlets has prompted a number of entreprenurial ventures into biofuels information services. NearBio.com and neare85.com recently offered Biofuel Fuel Route Wizard for mobile and desktop users. A new print directory of E85 stations has been released, available from Energy Independence Publications, and listing more than 1000 outlets and available for $9.95 in a glove-box size.

Also, Merrill Lynch & Co has launched the MLCX Biofuels Index to track seven commodities including sugar, corn and rapeseed as well as gasoline and diesel; holdings are based on production and energy density.
