Hu Honua discuss bioenergy details |
November
20, 2008 - Hilo, Hawaii
Hu Honua Bioenergy
is holding a private conference with
company members, as well as University
of Hawaii's College of Tropical Agriculture
and Human Resources, in order to fine
tune the plans for a 24-megawatt bioenergy
plant on the Big Island.
The facility will occupy the old Pepeekeo
Power Plant, which is being converted
to handle biomass. The goal is to produce
a renewable source of electricity for
the island.
The company says it will use a high
yield tree called leucaena to produce
the power. The company is even looking
ways to process the tree so that area
cattle ranchers may feed their livestock
with the same harvested biomass.
In this video, Hu Honua Bioenergy LLC
director Dan Ken knight goes into detail
about the conference, the project, and
the possible competition in the form
of other biomass companies looking to
do business on the Big island.
