HNEI researchers are actively involved in research and development activities aimed at production of fuels from biological sources. Specific efforts include the following subject areas:
- Biomass Resource Assessments [1], including assessment of biofuels for electric power generation
- Preparation of the Hawaii Bioenergy Master Plan [2]
- Production of Biocarbons [3] (charcoal)
- Production of Bio-Oils (overview) [4]
- Reforming of Transition Fuels for the Hydrogen Economy [5]
- Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass [6], e.g., hydrogen production from biomass
