HBMF 2022 | Defining the EDGE of Energy – Sustainable Energy Transformation

On Thursday, October 20th at 6:00pm Hawaii Time, Oceanit’s founder and CEO, Dr.Patrick Sullivan will join HBMF Chair, Roger Jelenik in a conversation about climate, the global energy transformation, and Oceanit’s work on sustainable energies via “EDGE”.

EDGE (Energy & Decarbonization for the Global Environment) is Oceanit’s initiative to tackle energy decarbonization across the production, transmission, distribution, and storage of clean energy. For example, Oceanit’s HydroPel nanotechnology provides significant and rapid decarbonization and methane reduction, when applied to nearly 3 million miles of existing U.S. methane pipelines.
