This week, Hawai‘i is hosting the second annual Asia Pacific Clean Energy Summit and Expo at the Hawai‘i Convention Center. The four-day event (Aug. 30-Sept. 2) brings together close to 1,000 local, national and international energy experts and policy decision makers to focus on the transformation to a clean energy economy in Hawai‘i, the nation and the world.

The conference is part of the Lingle-Aiona Administration’s Hawai‘i Clean Energy Initiative, which aims to have 70 percent of Hawai‘i’s energy come from clean energy sources by 2030. A key focus of this year’s energy summit will be China’s renewable energy, investments and policies.

 

The event will focus on the transformation to a clean energy economy in Hawai‘i and beyond, including such topics as:

 
  • Advances in renewable energy technology,
  • International and domestic public policy on renewable energy,
  • Current and future energy efficiency systems and equipment,
  • Clean energy education on the school, workforce and community level, and
  • The market demand and status for renewable energy and efficiency technology.
 
This year, special breakout sessions will highlight energy efficiency, solar, wind, biofuels, geothermal, ocean energy, energy policy, and investment in renewable energy projects.

Additionally, participants will learn about the status of development, economics, and competition of renewable energy projects in the global economy and will be provided with an update on Hawai‘i's Clean Energy Initiative."

The 2010 Asia-Pacific Clean Energy Summit and Expo is being coordinated by the State of Hawai‘i and the Clean Technology & Sustainable Industries Organization (CTSI).

American Samoa, Australia, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, India, Japan, New Zealand, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Okinawa, Palau, South Korea, Taiwan and the United States.
