STORY SUMMARY

HILO, Hawaiʻi - Commission members heard about plans to cut down, and re-plant, eucalyptus trees on Hawaiʻi Island in order to power the biomass facility in Pepeʻekeo.

(BIVN) – On Monday, the Hawaiʻi County Game Management Advisory Commission heard from the forester who plans to cut down Big Island eucalyptus trees to produce energy.

Dr. Guy Cellier, a forester for CN Renewable Resources LLC, talked to the commission about possible plans to allow hunting access on lands leased for tree removal, the notion of certain ungulates living harmoniously on the land, and the company’s approach to replanting the trees that are taken.

CN Renewable Resources LLC is a sister company to Hū Honua Bioenergy, LLC, which plans to burn the trees to produce up to 30-megawatts (MW) of power at its refurbished Pepeʻekeo power plant in the near future.
