Thirty years ago, when we had our first child, climate change was not an issue for the world, and in 1995 we created Pacific Biodiesel to address other environmental concerns such as waste recycling. Today, after becoming grandparents for the first time, we face a world with more dire concerns and the company continues even more fervently focused on our mission of producing sustainable biofuel.

It's been a year of ups and downs for renewable fuels, but slowly the State of Hawaii and U.S. of A. are realizing that future generations are at stake, and we are somehow finding support for locally produced biodiesel despite the incredibly low petroleum prices of 2015. We have increased biodiesel sales to the State, County of Hawaii, Hawaii Electric Company, and the City & County of Honolulu continues its longstanding support. On the federal side, the biodiesel industry will once again receive an incentive credit, albeit only for a short two years.

As we celebrate the holidays and prepare to close the door on a year of struggles, we are happy to share the best of 2015 with our supporters, customers, partners, employees and their families. Mahalo nui loa for your manaʻo and Happy Holidays. Here's to a cleaner, greener new year and we'll see you at the biodiesel pump!

After months of trials, both in Hawaii and on the mainland, Pacific  Biodiesel  launched a new product line in October. Maiden Hawaii Naturals, comprised of pure macadamia nut oil, was created through a serendipitous discovery by the team at Pacific Biodiesel Technologies.   When the biofuel crop demonstration project team began crushing macadamia nut culls at the request of local mac nut processors, their research into this island cultivar led to the development of a wonderful new skin product. How perfect that this natural beauty product came from a company steeped in a tradition of environmental and health concerns!  Grown, processed and bottled on the Big Island, our luxurious, pure macadamia nut beauty oil can benefit both the skin and hair.  You can
