Welcome

 

Act 253: “The primary objective of the bioenergy master plan shall (be to) develop a Hawaii renewable biofuels program to manage the State’s transition to energy self-sufficiency based in part on biofuels for power generation and transportation.”

Welcome to the website for the Hawaii Bioenergy Master Plan Project, established and funded under Part III of Act 253, Session Laws of Hawaii (SLH) 2007. The Act called for the preparation of a bioenergy master plan to “set the course for the coordination and implementation of policies and procedures to develop a bioenergy industry in Hawaii.”

The Hawaii Bioenergy Master Plan project final report was completed in December 2009. The Plan was developed to address a number of outcomes and issues prescribed by the Act, spanning a diverse range of considerations - from business partnerships and financial incentives to land and water resource issues. Toward this end, preparation of the Plan involved a wide range of stakeholders from Hawaii’s agriculture, business, research, and broader communities.

This website was developed and is maintained by the University of Hawaii’s Hawaii Natural Energy Institute (HNEI), under contract to the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT). Using this website, all stakeholders are invited and encouraged to be informed of the Project more.
