BlueEarth Biofuels
BlueEarth Biofuels is committed to reducing Hawaii's dependence on foreign oil and protecting our environment. Our unique project structure depends heavily upon our long-term "win-win" relationships with Labor and Agriculture. This enables us to assure a reliable flow of low-cost, clean-burning biofuel to drastically reduce the State's dependence on fossil fuels for electrical energy production. At the same time, we stimulate local agricultural markets to grow the requisite feedstock, and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

BlueEarth Maui Biodiesel Project
The Hawaii Legislature has authorized, and Governor Lingle has
signed into law, the $59 million in
Special Purpose Revenue Bond financing for BlueEarth Biofuels to
build a state-of-the-art continuous-process biodiesel plant on Maui. The plant will be operational in 2009, and will produce over 40 million gallons of environmentally friendly biodiesel per year.
Co-owned by Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) and located on land owned
by Maui Electric Company (MECO), the biodiesel produced will replace petroleum diesel, allowing MECO to generate clean, economical, renewable electrical power within Maui County and the State.

"BlueEarth Biofuels will construct the first biodiesel manufacturing facility in the Pacific capable of meeting current US biodiesel industry production and safety standards as well as biodiesel product quality specifications. In addition, we will provide a revolutionary new approach to fuels pricing...full "open-book" cost and pricing disclosure with capped profits."
