Our dependence on oil 90% of all Hawaii energy • Jet fuel • Gasoline • Electricity Oil challenges: • Security of supply • High cost • Environmental impact
Oil is refined for many uses Each barrel is refined first for jet fuel, then gas and marine fuel. What’s left, the goop called “residual,” is used to create electricity. An “integrated” energy system
Global warming policy We are committed to direct action to decrease the contribution to global warming from electricity production…including aggressive energy conservation and transition to producing clean, efficient and eco-effective electricity in all markets we serve.
The good news • Renewable Energy • Conservation • Energy Efficiency
Why more renewable energy? • Control use of imported oil • Cleaner, no emissions • Less climate change • More secure • ‘Fuel’ is free HECO goal/State law: 10% RPS by 2010 15% RPS by 2015 20% RPS by 2020
Next power plant by 2009 • Peaking unit: 110 MW • A ‘GREEN’ power plant • 100% renewable (preferably local) • Hydrogen (in the future?)
Biodiesel • Higher energy yield than ethanol • Palm, jatropha, soybeans, peanuts, canola, kukui, coconut • Imported or can be grown locally
Garbage-to-energy • H-Power burns Oahu garbage • Electricity production • Waste elimination
