Understanding that diverse energy options are important to the landscape of the state, Hawaiʻi Gas also created the state’s first renewable natural gas project in partnership with the City & County of Honolulu at the Honouliuli Wastewater Treatment Plant. Since the launch in 2018, this award-winning project produces up to 800,000 therms per year, thus eliminating the energy equivalent of 15,000 barrels of oil or the emissions that 400 vehicles would release in a year. Hawaiʻi Gas is actively engaged in expanding its renewable gas portfolio, while also exploring future energy solutions, such as hydrogen, a zero-carbon emission fuel, to meet the state’s carbon neutrality goals.
