SEH Presentations

The following are select recordings of SEH presentations. We hope that these provide you with additional insight into our energy reality and the options that exist to allow us to transition to a more sustainable and resilient future.

Renewable Energy – Sustainable Systems: There is a difference.

This 13-minute presentation examines the basis for our popular understanding of “Renewable Energy,” and the systems we’ve been told are the key to solving our climate change dilemma.

Are the systems we use to transform renewable energy, like solar and wind, into the usable energy we use to power the global economy also renewable? Is it reasonable to believe we can build enough of them to phase out the use of fossil fuels in time to mitigate our carbon emissions crisis? What do the geopolitical economics imply about supply chain dynamics as the entire planet rushes to transition to these systems or will scale become the limiting factor? Does Hawai`i have options right under its feet? It just might ...

Making the Case for Renewable Hydrogen Production in Hawai`i

This 21-minute video was part of a global workshop hosted by ‘Mission Hydrogen’, a German Hydrogen advocacy organization. The workshop ran for 24 hours, with thousands in attendance. Sustainable Energy Hawaii was invited to show the world the significant role we can play in the future of a global hydrogen economy.

In the future, container ships, commercial airliners, heavy-duty trucks, and other large equipment will need portable, low/no carbon fuels to power their operation. Those fuels will have less net energy by volume than the fossil fuels they use today. That means doubling the size of their fuel tanks or refueling along long-distance routes. Hawaii is perfectly positioned to provide this latter option when crossing the Pacific.
