This Catalog documents extensive information available to identify the numerous opportunities to develop Hawaii’s abundant renewable energy resources. The following renewable energy technologies are considered:

    • Wind energy
    • Solar thermal
    • Photovoltaic
    • Biomass, biofuels, and biogas
    • Geothermal
    • Hydroelectricity
    • Ocean energy

Drawing from several public studies and geographical information system data, the Catalog brings together state-wide listings of prospective sites and information on the major resources into a single comprehensive publication. It does not provide a new assessment of Hawaii’s energy resources, but rather documents the current understanding of these valuable opportunities and summarizes the considerations affecting development.
