Aldo Leopold Leadership Program Resources Center :The Aldo Leopold Leadership Program provides a list of resources for additional information on environmental news, science and policy, leadership and communications training, education and outreach, and sustainability issues.

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.  Click Here for more information about grants, production facilities, research programs, workforce development, agriculture retention, etc.

European Biofuels Technology Platform searchable list of biofuels research papers  initially includes summaries and links to 60 recent reports and papers.  The EBTP is pleased to add further reports and technical papers on feedstocks, conversion technologies, end use, sustainability, policy and markets, and global biofuels. Report details and links can be supplied via the feedback form.

MBI International : located in Lansing, Michigan, directly across from the Michigan State University campus and in the heart of the Michigan Life Sciences Corridor, applies multidisciplinary expertise, bench-scale laboratories and a robust flexible approach to utilizing pilot-plant facilities to accelerate the development and scale-up of bio-based technologies. We partner with both universities and end-user companies to bridge the gap between early innovations and commercial applications.

The Council of Energy Research and Education Leaders (CEREL) is a multidisciplinary membership organization made up of heads of academic energy research and education centers, institutes, and programs. It provides the means for leaders in energy research, education, and communication to collaboratively use knowledge about energy to improve education, decision-making, and, more generally, the well-being of society.

The Council of Environmental Deans and Directors (CEDD) is an association of institutional  representatives who come together to improve the quality, stature and effectiveness of academic environmental programs at U.S. universities and colleges. CEDD is facilitated by the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) as a part of its University Affiliate Program.

A premier benefit of University Affiliate membership is representation on NCSE’s Council of Environmental Deans and Directors (CEDD). Launched in 2001, CEDD has emerged as the leading organization working to improve the quality, stature, and effectiveness of environmental programs on the nation’s campuses. Government agencies, national and international organizations, and business groups seek out CEDD as a gateway to working with the academic environmental community. Each University Affiliate school designates a representative to serve on CEDD. The group currently includes over 150 members representing academic environmental programs of all sizes and types.

 Renewable Energy Bug   Find renewable energy companies and information.

Identify Flexible Fuel Vehicles by manufacturer.  Lists by year and model.  Also locate fueling stations with E85 pumps by state, zip code, in US and Canada.   Both resources courtesy of Growth Energy.

Locate retail biodiesel pumps using maps created by the National Biodiesel Board.

Locate biodiesel plants in the US and Canada on Biodiesel Magazine’s interactive map.

International Energy Agency has mapped global second-generation biofuels demo plants and projects.   You can search 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.

Currently, large efforts are dedicated to the production of biofuels from lignocellulosic raw materials. While only few production facilities are operational yet, many projects are under construction or planned. But which are the companies involved, where are production facilities under construction, and which technologies will be applied? In order to answer these questions, IEA Bioenergy Task 39 has collected data on pilot and demonstration projects and displays the results in a web-based, interactive map.
