Abstract

The concept of a central power plant, with its attendant economies of scale and advanced technology, as opposed to fragmented, small-scale operations by individual plantations, is examined in the context of energy generation from Hawaii's biomass sources. The thesis that the most cost-effective conversion of Hawaii's biomass sources to electricity can be best accomplished by such a power plant is developed. The study also suggests that it is cheaper to produce electric power from a biomass-fueled plant than from a fuel oil-based facility.
