VERGE Hawaii: Energy, Environment, Community (Asia Pacific Business Strategies)
A major international conference on Green Technologies comes to Honolulu. Elaine Hsieh directs a powerful three-day series of events in Honolulu: June 12-14 — Hilton Hawaiian Village, Honolulu
It’s the 10-year anniversary of the inception of the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative, which was instrumental in the state’s ambitious mandate of 100% renewable energy in the electricity sector by 2045. More recently, the State’s islands committed to reach 100% renewable fuel sources for public and private ground transportation by 2045 – another ambitious first-of-its-kind target. What lessons have the State’s decision-makers, influencers and communities learned since committing to these pivotal goals? Which technologies, policies and partnerships will enable it to achieve this? How can others from around the world learn from and help accelerate Hawaii’s groundbreaking clean energy transition?
Major subject areas include distributed energy, grid-scale power, market transformation, transportation, resilience and security, sustainable tourism.
