Pacific West Energy, LLC

  

Pacific West Energy, LLC is an integrated energy production and marketing company.  The Company was formed in 2001 initially to market fuel ethanol, primarily in the Western United States, and to develop and construct, own, and operate ethanol and other energy production facilities in niche locations providing unique cost or revenue advantages.  The Company is currently actively developing an integrated energy bio-refinery producing electricity and ethanol on the island of Kaua'i in Hawai'i. The Kaua'i project entails the operation of an existing sugar mill, obtaining and expanding the cultivation of cane, leucaena and other biomass lands on Kaua'i to support the mill, and the development, construction, and operation of a fuel ethanol plant and electricity production facility integrated into the mill.  The Kaua'i electricity project is a 20 MW facility that is designed to produce electricity for export to the local utility, Kaua'i Island Utility Cooperative.  The Kaua'i ethanol plant has been designed to produce fuel ethanol for sale in the Hawai'i motor fuel and electricity generation markets.  In addition, the sugar mill is designed to produce sugar for local consumption, refining, and export.  The Company is also developing biodiesel, algae-to-renewable fuels, solar, wind and other power projects to integrate into the Company's biomass facilities.  These projects are being conducted by the Company both independently and in partnership with technology and other development partners.  The Company's strategy is to create the world's first "integrated green-energy plantation," producing firm renewable energy from a variety of sources for the Company's own use and for sale to third parties.

 

 

Our objective is to be the leading producer of renewable "green" energy in Hawai'i and other niche markets we target.  We intend the the Kaua'i facility to provide a significant amount of “green energy" for Kaua'i Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) and additional renewable fuel for blending in diesel or stand-alone turbines for electricity production by the Company or KIUC or third-party use.  We also intend for the facility ultimately to provide 100% of Kaua'i’s ethanol requirements for motor fuel blending, eliminating the need for future imports of ethanol and the resulting drain on the Kaua'i economy.  We believe strongly in the growing demand for green energy, including electricity, fuel ethanol, biodiesel, solar, wind, and other emerging technologies in the Hawaiian market.  We intend to produce both green electricity and green motor fuels.  We intend to target similar markets where we will enjoy distinct competitive advantages.

The Company has historically marketed fuel ethanol throughout the Western United States in collaboration ED&F Man Holdings Ltd. and its affiliates, a major world trader in soft commodities such as sugar, molasses, coffee, alcohol, and cocoa.  Ethanol marketed by the Company is primarily marketed for use as an octane enhancer, fuel extender, and oxygenate.  The preferred target markets for the Company are those that regularly provide the highest net return, though growing ethanol demand in the United States has opened additional and broader market opportunities. The Company and its commercial partners maintain close relationships with all major oil companies, including ChevronTexaco, Tesoro, and Shell.
