Hawai'i Gas Announces Renewable Hydrogen and RNG Projects to Shift from Fossil Fuels
Key Ideas
- Hawai'i Gas partners with Eurus Energy America and Bana Pacific for renewable hydrogen and RNG projects to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
- The projects aim to increase hydrogen and RNG concentrations in Hawai'i Gas' fuel mix on O'ahu, supporting the state's clean energy goals.
- The company's commitment to sustainability and energy resiliency is demonstrated through diversifying fuel supply with local resources and innovative partnerships.
- With a history of blending hydrogen and RNG, Hawai'i Gas plans to scale up its renewable energy investments to further reduce its carbon footprint.
Hawai'i Gas has selected two projects from its 2023 request for proposals focused on renewable green hydrogen and renewable natural gas (RNG) to transition away from fossil fuels. The partnerships with Eurus Energy America and Bana Pacific mark a significant step towards decarbonization for the company. By increasing the hydrogen and RNG concentrations in its fuel mix on O'ahu, Hawai'i Gas demonstrates its dedication to diversification, energy resiliency, and maintaining affordability. The aim is to boost the percentage of hydrogen in its synthetic natural gas (SNG) produced on O'ahu from the current 15% to up to 20%. The Bana Pacific project will utilize bana grass as a feedstock to produce RNG, aligning with Hawai'i Gas' strategy of leveraging local resources for clean energy production. These initiatives not only support Hawai'i Gas' clean energy goals but also contribute to the state's overall transition towards sustainability. Through ongoing exploration of future projects and collaborations, Hawai'i Gas continues to lead in renewable energy innovation in Hawai'i.
