Hawaii Energy and Environmental Technologies Initiative
Abstract
This report summarizes work conducted by the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute of the University of Hawaii under the Hawaii Energy and Environmental Technologies (HEET) Initiative funded through the Office of Naval Research. This initiative focused on critical technology needs associated with the exploration and utilization of seabed methane hydrates and the development and testing of advanced fuel cells and fuel cell systems. The efforts in methane hydrates encompassed six primary components: hydrate thermochemistry and kinetics, hydrate microbiology, subsea power generation, modeling, field studies, and international collaboration. In the fuel cell area, the major accomplishment was the development of the Hawaii Fuel Cell Test Facility to characterize advanced fuel cells and fuel cells systems for Navy applications, specifically for unmanned undersea vehicles.
