New global map and database of advanced biofuels plants

The International Energy Agency has completed its mapping of global second-generation biofuels demo plants and projects, now available here.

The interactive map allows for searching by type of plant (biochemical, thermochemical or hybrid), scale (pilot, demo or commercial) and status (planned,on hold, under construction, under commissioning, or operational).

Each individual entry includes data on the project name, location, technology, output, facility type, total investment and a technology brief on each project, plus contact information and project photos.

The international project, part of Task 39 of the IEA Bioenergy project, was completed by a team led by Bioenergy 2020+ researcher Dina Bacovsky in Austria and supported by Biofuel Digest among other organizations. Thank you to the many projects which submitted data!

Currently, more than 50 2nd generation projects are listed and more are being added as projects report their data.
