Zero Waste Algae Project. A team that is led by the Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center (PBARC) is developing an approach to growing heterotrophic algae using agriculture waste and rotation crops. The project started by using papaya waste, and is rapidly progressing from lab scale to small commercial scale pilots by the end of the year. The concept is to use waste, such as papaya that is thrown away at the packing plant, or sweet potato's that are left in the field as a carbon source for algae. The waste can be purchased or gathered at very low cost (currently $.03/lbs for the papaya waste). The algae consumes the papaya and converts it to oils and a high protein algae meal that can support aquaculture. The oils will be sold to biofuels producers, and the algae meal will be provided to fish farms at a far lower cost than current feeds.

How to Get Even More Solar Electricity, Wednesday, 10:30am, Rm 312
Member-owned cooperative KIUC spends between $60M-100M on foreign oil each year
Goal: generate 50% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030 (IRP available at www.kiuc.coop)

Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative
Effective Rates (01-Sep-2011)
Kaua`i (All kWh/mo)
National
Schedule “D” Residential $0.417/kWh
Schedule “G” Small Commercial $0.429/kWh
Schedule “J” Large Commercial $0.395/kWh
Project Pipeline (70-75 MW peak) Biomass
7 to 27 MWs Firm Capacity Currently under PPA negotiation
Hydro 12-15 MWs KIUC focus area over next 5 years
Solar Thermal 10-15MWs LOI stage
36
Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative
PV 10-15 MWs including member installed PPA’s for 4 MWs signed in 2010 to date
On sunny days 10% of Kauai’s peak load will be served by KIUC and member installed PV by 2013
Up to an additional 4 MWs possible by year end Every 3 MW requires 1 MW battery
Battery Energy Storage System 2 MWs budgeted for 2011 RFP issued, vendor selection underway Provides Grid Stability and some capacity
37
Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative
Challenges KIUC does not own/control resources
Kauai has great natural resources but difficult to effectively utilize for energy projects
KIUC’s tax exempt structure Technologies and small scale projects are still expensive Intermittent nature of renewables stresses KIUC’s grid Enthusiastic but often inexperienced and undercapitalized
developers
38
Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative
Conclusion Kaua‘i will be a model for energy sustainability Support from government agencies and Kaua‘i
residents essential KIUC has the commitment, financial capability, and
the technical expertise to bring the dream to reality Real utility scale projects are beginning now and
will accelerate over the coming years Within 5-10 years we will achieve at least a 50%
reduction in our oil usage on Kaua‘i

A Path Forward for Hawai‘i to Transform
Respond to basic needs with what you have, introducing innovations inspired by nature, generating multiple benefits, including jobs and social capital, offering more with less: This is The Blue Economy.
How to Build a Greener City Bike lanes, micro wind turbines, pneumatic garbage collection—and
other ways to make urban areas more environmentally friendly New Ways to Use Less Energy at Home
Concrete countertops? Blown fiberglass insulation? The payback may be quicker than you think.
Limiting Waste, Recycling
The strategy embraced by GE, which uses rare-earth metals in a wide array of products including jet engines, medical equipment, optics and headphones, is focused on limiting waste, doing more with less, recycling and developing metals substitutes across its product chain.
An estimated $190 billion of investments in new energy supplies over the next two decades will be for
tidal, current and wave-based technologies. The International Energy Agency estimates that tidal
power could generate 200 TW per year, while wave power could produce 8,000 TW. The potential in the US once captured would be enough to produce 6%
of U.S. electrical demand.. Clean energy from locally available resources:
A prime example of the Blue Economy.
