Ethanol Fuel in Hawaii - Local Production Proposals

Local Production Proposals

Several companies registered to make ethanol over 3 years ago in Hawaii, but none had started construction as of 2008/9. The two sugar cane plantations are expected to make ethanol, but only Gay and Robinson on Kauai plan to stop sugar operations to make ethanol, using two processes. The first technology is fermentation of a faster growing cane and secondary process employs Clear Fuels cellulosic process from the waste (bagasse) of the first process. Enough ethanol is expected to be made for Kauai's use, but it must be shipped to Oahu for blending and returned for sale .

Famous quotes containing the words local, production and/or proposals:

    There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.
    Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
