Big Island Biodiesel ready for construction in Hawaii

In Hawaii, Big Island Biodiesel announced that it will kick-off its construction phase for the 2.6 Mgy biodiesel facility with a blessing at the Kea`au site. The Big Island Biodiesel facility will utilize recently developed zero-waste, high efficiency processing technology. The new biodiesel plant’s multiple feedstock capability will allow it to process used cooking oils, jatropha oil, sunflower oil, algae oil and even fish oil and animal fats. Biodiesel is currently produced by Pacific Biodiesel on Maui and Oahu and is sold at retail stations on those islands as well as wholesale throughout the state.
