Subject: Request to Have BRI Energy Hawaii Give a Presentation to the
Committee on finance at the July 21, 2005 Meeting
Mr. James L. Stewart, Vice President and Director of Marketing of BRI Energy Hawaii,
has requested to give a presentation to the Committee on Finance to discuss the
possibility of solving the County's mounting solid waste problem in East Hawaii. BRI
Energy Hawaii commercializes the gasifaction/biocatalytic tcchnology throughout the
nation and world.
On average, 80 percent oCall municipal wastes could be converted into beneficial
products using BRI's gasification process. This process involves three main steps, which
are gasification, fermentation smd distillation. It is environmentally superior to any other
technology currently being utilized to dispose of organic wastes, while creating ethanol
fuel and producing electric power.
As Council Member Bob Jacobson, Chair of the Committee on Environmental
Management, is not available, I have scheduled Mr. Stewart to address the Committee on
Finance on July 21, 2005.
Should you have any questions, please call me.
Comm. No.
