WelcomeAct 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. 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). The Project was established and funded under Part III of Act 253, Session Laws of Hawaii (SLH) 2007 which 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 Act prescribes a number of outcomes and issues to be addressed in development of the Plan. These span a diverse range of considerations - from business partnerships and financial incentives to land and water resource issues – that involve a wide range of stakeholders from Hawaii’s agriculture, business, research, and broader communities. Using this website, all stakeholders are invited and encouraged to be informed of the Project and to submit comments on one or more issues. more Comments may be made directly to HNEI via e-mail to bionrg@hawaii.edu. Comments will be posted at the FOR STAKEHOLDERS link. |
