AI Summary

  • Expands the existing ethanol facility tax credit to include biodiesel, biobutanol, bio-based diesel, bio-based gasoline, and bio-based jet fuel produced from renewable feedstocks, waste materials, algae, fats, oils, and grease.

  • Requires qualifying biofuel production facilities to be located in Hawaii and use locally grown feedstock for at least 75% of production output.

  • Increases the annual certified credit cap from $12 million to $20 million and removes the 40 million gallon per year statewide production capacity limit that previously applied to ethanol facilities.

  • Extends the deadline for facility production commencement from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2020 to allow more time for capital investment and development.

  • Redefines nameplate capacity to be determined by the facility owner based on actual production recorded during a consecutive seven-day period multiplied by 52, rather than relying solely on design specifications.
