Creating Strategic Partnerships for a Sustainable Future
OUR FEATURED PROJECTS
OUR FEATURED PROJECTS
Waste to Energy Treatment plant
Waste to Energy Treatment plant
On Kauai, the high cost per kilowatt-hour of energy has everyone concerned—even our primary energy company, Kauai Island Utility Cooperative. With multiple projects in solar and hydro, energy demand and consumption still remain high and costly. One possible solution is the use of waste products as energy-producing sources. Proposed projects and initiatives to include waste-to-energy systems such as developing a waste-to-energy plant similar to H-POWER on Oahu and developing a gasification system as well as a wet waste energy system to process human, animal, and crop wastes. This would include using food scrap, cellulosic biomass, tires and non-recyclable plastics, and industrial waste into clean, renewable energy resources. $75-100 Million
Electric Transportation
Electric Transportation
As Kauai is 25 miles wide and 33 miles long, and almost circular with one major road that traverses most of the island but for the mountains of the Napali coastline, we are entirely dependent on oil. Any number of electric vehicles such as trucks, cars, scooters, and bicycles could service the island much more inexpensively than gasoline powered vehicles. In addition, traffic snarls in varying spots along the roadway each day, and the roads come to a grinding halt in the event of any kind of emergency.
We propose offering residents a choice between viable electric vehicles to their current gasoline powered vehicles, and to explore the possible development of a light rail system along the mountainside. Years ago Kauai used rail to move sugar and pineapple, now we could use railways to transport people from shoreline to shoreline.
WHAT IS MINIMOBILITY
"While the debate regarding the implementation of micromobility continues, another concept is starting to gain momentum in cities: minimobility. Unlike micromobility, this urban mobility segment is made up of three- or four-wheeled vehicles, which are mainly electric and capable of transporting one or two people with speeds varying between 25 and 90 km/hour. Can both forms of mobility coexist in cities?"a
SPACE
SPACE
We need potential economic impact for Hawaii in developing new programs toward supportive infrastructure that include job and career creation. The Hawaiian Islands have a long history of supporting the federal space programs in the United States. The rocky island terrain is due to volcanic activity that has supported a variety of experiments and preparations for technology and human beings to travel to and eventually occupy space. According to NASA, the Hawaiian Islands provided sites for geology training for Apollo astronauts serving as the first port-of-call for astronauts returning from the Moon. Even now as nations plan a space collaborative to reach
Ocean Economy
Ocean Economy
The erosion of sea beds and ocean fronts as well the impact of overfishing around Kauai puts our vital ocean economy at risk. Ocean farming of algae and seaweed could be a potential business opportunity. The ocean economy, which contributes upwards of $1.5 trillion in value added to the global economy, was particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The primary goal at Green Hawaii Conferences is to establish strong, strategic partnerships to working toward bringing Kauai to 100% self-sustainability. In sectors such as agriculture, communication, education, energy, healthcare and health maintenance, sanitation, and transportation and many others, the objective is for Kauai to serve as a model of sustainability not only for the U.S. mainland and her territories, but also for countries around the world.
