What are Biofuels?
Biofuels are renewable fuels derived from biomass and various feedstocks such as soybeans, corn, algae, and animal fats. Unlike traditional fossil fuels, biofuels offer a more sustainable energy solution, potentially reducing greenhouse gas emissions while promoting energy diversification.

Emerging Growth Hubs in Renewable Diesel & Biofuel Infrastructure
With policy incentives accelerating investment and the private sector racing to decarbonize, we're seeing distinct regional clusters emerge as growth hubs for renewable diesel and other biofuels. The Acres Renewable Diesel & Biofuels map lets you spot these high-velocity zones at a glance—and evaluate the factors driving them.
Where Growth Is Happening—and Why
Gulf Coast (PADD 3): Leading the nation with 2.2 billion gallons of capacity across 8 plants, the Gulf Coast benefits from infrastructure advantages—ports, refineries, and feedstock processing clusters.
West Coast (PADD 5): California and Washington host a combined 1.2 billion gallons in capacity—driven by state incentives like the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), and demand for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
Midwest (PADD 2): Minnesota, North Dakota, and neighboring states form the feedstock heartland. With abundant corn and soy, they’re ideally positioned to supply low-carbon biorefineries.
Why This Matters For Land Professionals
These growth clusters aren’t just dots on a map—they’re signals. Whether you’re scouting for industrial land near future biorefinery zones or assessing farmland that could shift in value due to feedstock demand, this layer helps you move ahead of market momentum.
Use it alongside Acres’ zoning, soil, and transaction history layers to identify high-potential parcels faster.
Final Thoughts
With the Acres Renewable Diesel and Biofuels map, land professionals can quickly identify strategic facility locations and assess estimated production capacity at each site. Make decisions faster with precise, actionable insights right at your fingertips.
