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.

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.
Legislation to improve Hawai’i’s air quality by reducing the amount of gas and diesel pollution died last week in the State House Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee.
