In the UK, StrategicFit will debut the GreenTrackers Algae Biofuels Company Database, which gathers information on 50+ algae bio-fuels companies around the world, from New Zealand and Hawaii to China, California and Europe. The database provides quantitative and qualitative information and is updated on a monthly basis, and uses a motion chart visualization tool to enable easy comparison of companies on multiple dimensions simultaneously. The database is partially based on data from the Biofuels Digest “50 Hottest Companies in Bioenergy” Selectors Data Book as well as the Digest archive. The Digest caught up with the database’s designers, Strategic Fit in an email interview this week.
