Project Coverage Alternative Fuels project coverage includes Ethanol, Biodiesel and Coal Gasification. Since 2003, both the Ethanol and Biodiesel industries have been growing considerably up until 2008. We are now looking at the second phase of ethanol plant development using cellulosic feedstock materials. If commercially/economically viable, this will be the next “bubble” of ethanol plant construction to take place. Currently IIR is tracking over 284 projects valued at $89 billion for Ethanol, Biodiesel and Coal Gasification plants. IIR’s coverage includes capital and maintenance projects valued at $1 million and greater with a lead time of 4 to 6 months minimum on requests for quotes and bid documents.
Living Forward Market Intelligence – IIR’s team of industry experts are constantly updating and reporting on new opportunities in the database that keeps your subscription timely, accurate and living forward. Our quality control process insures that the intelligence you receive today will become more valuable tomorrow.
Project Types Include:
Grassroot plant construction, process expansions and debottlenecks, unit additions, upgrades, and major maintenance shutdowns.

Plant Coverage
The Alternative Fuels Industry plant database consists of over 800 plants locations across North America. Approximately 320 plants are operational, while 366 plants are under development resulting from grassroot construction activity. Information is also available on 87 closed plant sites (decommissioned). Plant details for operational plants include key management contacts which represent over 105,000 unique management contacts. Each plant record is continuously phone verified for quality assurance and accuracy throughout the year.
Each Plant Profile Identifies:
- Company ownership and parent company
- Physical and mailing addresses,
- Phone and fax numbers,
- SIC descriptions,
- Start-up Date
- Union Status
- Fuel Type
- Key Management Contacts with Email addresses*
