Kauai Sugar Firm Gearing Up for Ethanol Plant

Pacific Business News. Gay & Robinson, a Kauai, Hawaii sugar plantation, is planning to operate the first ethanol production plant in the state if Hawaii requires a mandatory E10 blend in its fuel.

The plant would convert molasses into 10 million gallons of ethanol a year. The company is also proceeding with a $5 million demonstration project to convert sugarcane bagasse to ethanol.
