A College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources paper was one of 13 awarded a U.S. Department of Agriculture Bioenergy Awareness Days Grand Challenge Award in June 2008.

The paper on a systems approach for moving America to fiber-based energy was co-authored by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Goro Uehara, Brian Turano and Richard Ogoshi.

A national approach is essential to reduce duplicative research and accelerate the transition from fossil-based energy, they say.
