Federal and state officials said the goal of the new program is to continue developing alternative fuel sources for the state, which is heavily dependent on imported oil. But another aspect of the research will focus on using what's left over from the Biodiesel fuel production to make feed for cattle, poultry and fish-farming operations in Hawai'i. Read more from this article here (PDF) Biodiesel investor looking at oil options - Already, the company BlueEarth has “pulled back quite a bit” from its plans to depend on imported palm oil as a feedstock, because of criticism that palm oil plantations are knocking down rain forests in Southeast Asia. Palm oil is not entirely off the table, but BlueEarth recognizes palm oil’s “inherent environmental issues.” BlueEarth is considering other oils, such as canola or soybean – and several products growing on Maui such as kukui remain under consideration as well.

About Oilgae - Oilgae - Oil & Biodiesel from Algae has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing alternative energy in general. Algae present an exciting possibility as a feedstock for biodiesel, and when you realise that oil was originally formed from algae - among others - you think "Hey! Why not oil again from algae!" To facilitate exploration of oil production from algae as well as exploration of other alternative energy avenues, Oilgae provides web links, directory, and related resources for algae-based biofuels / biodiesel along with inputs on new inventions, discoveries & breakthroughs in other alternative energy domains such as solar, wind, nuclear, hydro, geothermal, hydrogen & fuel cells, gravitational, geothemal, human-powered, ocean & wave / tidal energy.
