Since 1990, development of oil palm plantations has cleared about 16,000 square kilometers of Kalimantan’s primary and logged forested lands— an area about the size of Hawaii. Despite these large numbers, accurate information about leases is not readily available for public review and oversight, even after the leases are granted.

In August 2011, UOP began construction in Hawaii of a demonstration unit that will convert forest residuals, algae and other cellulosic biomass into renewable drop-in transportation fuels via a rapid pyrolysis process integrated with a catalytic upgrading process. Challenges for the upgrading of pyrolysis oil include contiguous carbon chain.
