The algae biofuel will be provided at a fixed price once the contract is reviewed and approved by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission with input from the State Consumer Advocate.

Pilot algae farm
Phycal plans to design, permit, build and operate a 34-acre pilot farm near Poamoho Camp in Wahiawa, Oahu that will use CO2 from industrial producers on Oahu. The algae will then be harvested and their oils extracted and converted into biofuel. Phycal expects to break ground for the pilot farm in late 2011 or early 2012.
