HNEI has matured into an academic research unit with strong capabilities in all phases of renewable energy R and D. HNEI seeks to establish research excellence by maximizing the potential of Hawaii's unique natural ocean/solar and geothermal laboratories at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii and the Puna Research Center; as well as research laboratories at UH-Manoa such as the Renewable Resources Research Laboratory and the Physical Electronics Laboratory. HNEI will also continue - as lead agency or as partner with other interested organizations - to work on windpower applications, energy storage, solar photovoltaics, transportation alternatives, environmental and socio-economic issues, and systems integration. Renewables have the potential to assure Hawaii's, the nation's, and the world's energy future. Much remains to be done to prove that potential and to effect the technological and social changes necessary to replace finite conventional fuels which threaten our environment with nonpolluting, abundant renewables.
