PONO Pacific and PAR Hawaii Partnering To Develop Camelina On Local Farms
This crop is intended to produce plant-based oil, which will be converted into renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel.
Researchers estimate that camelina-based jet fuel can reduce net carbon emissions by approximately 80 percent.
SB 1120, the Clean Fuel Standard, which would’ve made it easier for Hawaii residents to choose cost-competitive greener gas and diesel that reduces pollution by up to 80 percent, died a quiet death in Honolulu last week.
Unchecked climate change would be a disaster for Hawai'i's economy. A penny at the pump for cleaner fuels is one proven solution.
