The pilot-scale project use both free (soluble) sugars and biomass (cellulosic) sugars from Ceres’ sweet sorghum hybrids grown in Alabama, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana and Tennessee. The plants require substantially less fertilizer than sugarcane, and can be grown in drier areas since they utilize water more efficiently.

My wife, Zan, and I were recently on the Big Island, Hawaii, and while there we toured the state’s only geothermal plant. Hawaii's 30 megawatt geothermal control room. An injection well pumps water into this hot layer where it is turned to steam. The rest of Hawaii’s electricity is generated by burning oil.
