Welcome to
Biofuels Center of North Carolina!

The long-term task of the Biofuels Center of North Carolina is to develop a statewide biofuels industry to reduce the state's dependence on imported liquid fuels.  The goal of North Carolina’s Strategic Plan for Biofuels Leadership is that by 2017, 10% of liquid fuels sold in North Carolina will come from biofuels locally grown and produced.  In 2007, the North Carolina General Assembly had the foresight and vision to create the Biofuels Center to implement this plan so that the state's farmers, biofuels manufacturers, biofuels workers and consumers will benefit from this new multimillion dollar home-grown industry.

North Carolina buys 5.6 billion gallons of liquid fuels annually.  Almost all comes from outside the state and none of these imported gallons contributes to the state's agriculture, forestry or manufacturing economy.  The Biofuels Center of North Carolina is developing a statewide biofuels industry to reduce this dependence.  By 2017, 10% of liquid fuels sold in North Carolina - or about 600 million gallons - will come from biofuels locally grown and produced.  Filling up with locally grown and manufactured biofuels blends will allow citizens to empower not just their vehicles, but also the North Carolina economy.
