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:

    The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
    Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
    And as imagination bodies forth
    The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
    Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
    A local habitation and a name.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.
    George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)

    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)
