77 | 75 | Hawaii Oil Seed Producers | Extensive (think what soybeans contribute to Mid-USA): contingent on growing oil palm as a vegetable oil source on hundreds of thousands of underutilized agricultural lands in Hawaii. A proof of concept study done to test growing of oil palm hybrids in Hawaii was conducted by Dr. William Moekahi Steiner while Dean of College of Agriculture at UHH CAFNRM. Palms will grow up to 3,000' elevation on all kinds of soil and climates withstanding all insect and fungal pests and producing >600 gallons oil/acre. Oil can be used for biofuel, with spin off industries in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, plastics, animal feed and waste products used for compost. Average is 1 job/ten acres with many being higher paid than tourist industry. Community benefits include new jobs and businesses with high demand for engineering and biochemistry trained personnel. Industries would contribute to development of sustainable jobs, lower CO2 levels, and reduce importations of many industrial products. Opportunity to reduce importation of hundreds of millions of gallons of petroleum exist. | About 90 trees/acre are required. New nurseries to grow the palms for replanting would have to be scattered throughout the islands. One is now being planned for Pahoa Hawaii. An NSF SBIR grant has been approved for submission. | 1 job/ten acres | Statewide | HawaiiOilSeedProducers.com | Dr. William W.M.
