READ EDITORIAL: HAWAII A GOOD FIT FOR HYDROGEN FUEL Hydrogen fuel is a clean-burning source of energy, and can be created from existing construction waste, agricultural byproducts and other organic materials. It can be used to power cars — and airplanes.

Contact us FOCUSED ON LOCAL SUSTAINABILITY Our mission is to do something better with waste than to dispose of it in landfills. The Aloha Carbon project was created to help Hawaii’s energy transition to climate-friendlier bioenergy options, by delivering waste management solutions that reduce dependency on fossil fuels. We are the recyclers of what cannot be recycled! We focus on our biggest local needs, which have the least amounts of solutions: finding alternate uses for construction and demolition debris(C&D) and organic urban wastes, and converting them into green hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel.

Contact us COMPANY IDENTITY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT WE DO: WASTE DIVERSION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Similar to recycling, where materials are used in a new way, waste diversion makes use of materials away from landfills. GASIFICATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gasification can also be used to process waste, but it is a chemical process instead of a combustion process. This difference allows for higher emission controls. Unlike incineration, there is potential for gasification to deliver negative Green house gas (GHG) emissions. CARBON-NEUTRAL GROWTH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aloha Carbon is aiming to help airlines serving Hawaii meet their goals of carbon-neutral growth. This includes producing renewable fuel and carbon credits that meet the United Nations’ International Civil Aviation Organization Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) requirements to hold lifecyle greenhouse gas emissions at 2020 levels – including flights to and from Hawai`i. Learn More WHAT WE DO NOT DO: THROW AWAY WASTE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A landfill should be the final stop for waste after all recycling options have been exhausted. When landfills are full, new sites need to be created, which can affect local communities. INCINERATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Incineration is to burn something completely and reduce it to ashes. An incinerator is a device that directly “burns” feedstock, and is a form of processing waste. There are over 50 incinerators in the US. CARBON-INTENSIVE GROWTH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We aim to reduce carbon-intensive economic development by displacing fossil fuel, raw material imports, and greenhouse-gas intensive cement and building materials, with careful sorting and recycling of waste into locally sourced building materials and energy products. provide input GREENHOUSE GAS COMPARISON FOR HYDROGEN MEET OUR TEAM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joelle Simonpietri President -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Founder Joelle Simonpietri led the internal Innovation Team and renewable fuel manufacturing integration initiatives at Par Pacific Inc’s Hawaii petroleum refinery for over 2 years.
