  1. Presentation: Hawaii LNG Opportunity

    Al Chee, Bill Hauhe, and Mark Hepburn of ChevronTexaco gave a presentation on Hawai‘i’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) opportunity. The proposed project would convert three of HECO’s O’ahu power plants (Kahe, Kalaeloa, and Waiau) from fuel oil to LNG. The LNG could be supplied from ChevronTexaco’s gas reserves in Australia. Local infrastructure requirements would include a regasification terminal with pipelines to the power plants.

  2. Forum Business
    Mike Hamnett reported that our Energy Summit will probably be in early December. Research is continuing in our subcommittees on the topics of energy efficiency, cultural issues, low-income issues, and military issues.
