Hawaii Adopts Renewable Fuels Standard and Biofuels Measures |
Gov. Lingle of Hawaii signed into law 4 significant energy bills on Friday, including SB2957, which included the following for alternative fuels:
Senate Bill 2957 establishes Statewide renewable fuel standard of 10% of highway fuel demand to be provided by alternative fuels by 2010, 15% by 2015 and 20% by 2020.
Senate Bill 2957 appropriates $150,000 to provide assistance to the agricultural community interested in developing energy projects, especially for the production of biodiesel from energy crops and cellulosic ethanol from agricultural waste streams to maximize funding available from USDA and USDOE or other external sources.
Senate Bill 2957 also appropriates $200,000 to allow DBEDT to conduct a statewide multi-fuel biofuels production assessment of potential feedstocks and technologies, the economics of the various renewable fuels pathways to contribute to Hawaii's near-, mid- and long-term energy needs. | |
