Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – March 19, 2019 <br /> <br />JMG: That’s facts, that’s facts right there. <br /> <br />SM: Now they supposed to get all their permits... <br /> <br />JMG: They don’t have all their permits. <br /> <br />PRESENTATION <br /> <br />a. Department of Forestry and Wildlife – Ian Cole <br /> <br />NP: Ian Cole reported last minute – Wildlife Biologist DOFAW – that he couldn’t <br />make it coming back from Kona. We had questions for him so I guess we’ll <br />just postpone it maybe for next meeting. <br /> <br />b. Hu Honua Bio Energy – Kevin Owen, General Manager <br /> <br />SM: We have Kevin Owen from Hu Honua. <br /> <br />KO: Thank you very much for having me. My name is Kevin Owen I’m from Honua <br />Ola which is doing business right now as Hu Honua – sometimes if I refer to <br />Hu Honua that has been our name for quite a while but we are changing our <br />name. <br /> <br />MH: Sorry. Hold on one second. I think we got disconnected to Kona. \[Tech <br />difficulties\] <br /> <br />BKK: All right so I’m gonna call the meeting back to order and just starting with the <br />presentation. <br /> <br />KO: Hu Honua is a state-of-the-art facility at revitalization of an existing facility. <br />We’re replacing the importing of fossil fuels with local, renewable, resources <br />such as eucalyptus trees and this is all to produce electricity. What is Honua <br />Ola? It is replacing imported fossil fuels with local renewable resources to <br />produce energy – once an operational Hu Honua or Honua Ola – it is in <br />Pepeekeo and with that we have a state-of-the-art facility with the best <br />available technology on our boiler. We can produce up to 21 ½ megawatts of <br />FIRM which means, you know, when the sun goes down – we’re still <br />producing electricity and it’s a renewable power also. And we’re gonna be <br />doing this because we’re gonna be managing forests – OK so it’s renewable <br />– the trees grow, you know, every seven years we harvest and then we <br />replant and reharvest again so it’s a seven year cycle – but this will include <br />replanting of the trees and off setting our carbon emissions from the power <br />plant by regrowing these trees. Honua Ola – the meaning of that is... <br /> <br />BKK: Hold on once second. We lost Kona again... <br />5 <br /> <br /> <br />
