Biofuels Center of North Carolina

The Biofuels Center of North Carolina is a state-funded nonprofit private corporation tasked by the North Carolina General Assembly with developing a statewide biofuels industry sector to reduce the state's dependence on imported liquid fuels, bolster the state's agriculture, forestry and manufacturing sectors, create jobs and prosperity, and keep billions of dollars that would otherwise leave the state to pay for imported liquid fuels in circulation in North Carolina.

To accomplish this, the Biofuels Center is implementing North Carolina’s Strategic Plan for Biofuels Leadership. The Strategic Plan states that by 2017, 10% of liquid fuels sold in North Carolina will come from renewable fuels made from locally grown biomass. In 2007, the North Carolina General Assembly had the foresight and vision to create the Biofuels Center to implement this plan.

The Biofuels Center is based the 426-acre North Carolina's Biofuels Campus.
