Bioenergy Technologies Office's Analytical Tools

The Biotechnology Technologies Office (BTO) within the Department of Energy (DOE), with national lab partners, provides various online tools that analyze data to aid in decision-making. Tools include the Bioenergy Knowledge Discovery Framework, which provides industry, policymakers, and others with spatially organized information on the economic and environmental impacts of various biomass feedstock developments; the BioFuels Atlas, which illustrates the locations of American feedstocks, bioenergy plants, and other alternative fuels stations in order to determine potential biofuel production capacity; and the Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Transportation (GREET) Model, which performs life-cycle analysis to evaluate energy and emission impacts of transportation technologies and fuels, among others.
