Biomanufacturing projects in Biofuel Development Opportunity (BDO) Zones generate an average of $423 million annually per project, according to a study by Dr. Burton C. English.

Over ten years, each project is projected to have a cumulative economic impact of $4.23 billion, creating thousands of jobs during construction and operation. If 100 more BDO Zones are established, they could produce between $21 billion and $64 billion in economic activity over the next decade. BDO Zones are assessed for biomass supply-chain readiness to improve market transparency and reduce investment risks.
