'Alternative Natural Gas' Solution
for Hawaii Power
Does ‘alternative natural gas’ mean cleaner energy production? Yes
Does ‘alternative natural gas’ offer an advanced technology solution? Yes
Does ‘alternative natural gas’ provide for long term rate reduction? Yes
Is ‘alternative natural gas’ available for Hawaii? Yes, Hawaiian Blend Propane
Conventional design uses simple cycle gas engines to generate electricity. Hawaii’s energy future will need practical systems with forward thinking fuel supply. Eco Green Generation llc has developed an integrated solution using a special fuel blend and commercially available combined cycle with heat recovery which will maximize energy production at higher efficiencies, and less cost as compared to higher cost diesel and bio-diesel generation systems.
Hawaiian Blend Propane is not diesel, it is natural gas derivative with an added renewable gas percentage included resulting in a renewable blend.
Hawaiian Blend Propane delivers higher efficiency in energy generation, and lower CO2 emissions as compared to other propositions for Hawaii.
Renewable propane offers a low cost solution to the HECO power supply portfolio, and more efficient technology than recently announced plans.
Combined cycle generation has a heat rate (measure of plant operating efficiency) of 6,000-7,000 Btu per kWh using propane, which is twice as efficient as plants like Waiau using conventional fuels that operating around 14,000 Btu per kWh.
The Stationary (emission) Sources generate 86% of air pollutants.
Electricity generation accounts for more than half of that stationary source of emissions making Hawaiian Blend the best opportunity to reduce emissions.
According to Hawaii’ State Dept of Health the GHG emissions have increased↑ by 5% since 2015
Energy Industries will need to reduce emissions by more than 25% in order to reach State target of 11.4 MMT of CO2
Bio-diesel may reduce emissions by 10-15% as compared to diesel(ULSD) whereas Hawaiian Blend Propane is much higher emissions reduction.
Benefits to Hawaii Ratepayers:
✓ Lower Energy Costs
✓ Lower Carbon Emissions
✓ Conventional Plant Operations
✓ Long-term Available Supply
Hawaiian Blend Propane power generation is a less costly on a fuel basis to operate than existing power plant fuels.
Hawaiian Blend Propane is cleaner than diesel or biodiesel average CO2 stack emissions reduction of 20-30% with much lower comparative particulate emissions and 60% lower GHG emissions compared to existing plants.
Hawaiian Blend Propane power plant can operate day or night, 24/7 with nominal maintenance requirements.
