About the Biofuels Center of North Carolina

The Center of North Carolina has the long-term task of developing a large-scale biofuels industry sector to reduce the state's dependence on imported petroleum.

• Identify, analyze, and synthesize content from and about the Center and the biofuels sector, statewide and beyond.
• Develop strategies, messages, activities, and partners with which to shape and lucidly communicate that content.
• Develop and oversee specific print, electronic, and other format materials that represent the Center, North Carolina’s biofuels endeavor, and the biofuels sector.
• Convey and represent the Center’s state mandate, development strategies, and outcomes.
• Create and maintain a highly integrated framework of messages, materials, communicational strategies, and targeted public affairs.
