BIOFUELS
An independent study reveals that biomanufacturing projects in Biofuel Development Opportunity (BDO) Zones yield an average annual economic impact of $423 million per project, totaling $4.23 billion over ten years. The study, conducted by Dr.
Burton C. English, suggests that 100 additional BDO Zones could generate $21 billion to $64 billion in economic activity nationwide. BDO Zones, assessed for biomass supply-chain readiness, aim to enhance market transparency and align public funding with private investment.
