Climate change threat toHawaii: Ocean acidification
CO2 going up above the oceanand in the ocean
pH going down in the upperocean - becoming more acidic
Observational results from Station Aloha(Dore et al., 2009)

Hawaii addressing climate change:ACT 234 - Hawaii’s Global WarmingSolutions Act
Second state in the country toenact GHG regulations – June2007
10 member task forcedeveloping plan to meet 1990GHG levels by 2020
Report GHG work plan toLegislature by end of 2010

Energy & Greenhouse GasSolutions: Mission
To analyze and tailor energy and climatechange policy by assessing technologyoptions and the associated environmentaland economic impacts.
October 8, 2009 www.uhero.hawaii.edu/eggs 14
EGGS: Core Goals1. Engage in rigorous analysis and establish a global
research reputation.2. Develop and maintain data and models on Hawai’i
energy, economy, and resulting greenhouse gas (GHG)emissions.
3. Showcase Hawai’i solutions that demonstrate asustainable alternative for others.
4. Develop solution-based education and outreachprograms on energy and GHG solutions for a variety oflevels (legislators, business community, and K-12).

GHG Emissions Accounting:An example equation
CO2 emissions = Af,h * Fc,h * Fox* (44/12) Af,h : heat content of fuel consumed (GJ converted from
therms or million BTU) Fc,h : Carbon content of fuel on a heating value basis (15.3
kg C/GJ) Fox : Oxidation factor to account for fraction of carbon in
fuel that remains as soot or ash (44/12) : Ratio of the molecular weight of CO2 to that of
carbon

Hawaii GHG ProfileConclusions
Act 234 emissions have increased by about 23% from 1990 to 2005
Per dollar output, Hawai‘i is more GHG intensivein 2005 than in 1990 although per capita is down
Power and transport account for about 70% ofall GHG emissions
Ground transportation contributes about 20percent and is growing rapidly

Rationale:Tourism’s Role in Hawaii’s Economy
$11.4 billion, in 2008 $1,700 per person, per
trip spending 18% of Gross State
Product, current dollars 10% of all civilian jobs
Statewide in 2003 6.8 million visitor arrivals 64 million visitor days High stakes for Hawaii

Methods:Calculating GHGs from directand indirect demand Total demand vector (X) is function of intermediate and final
demand (Y), A is matrix of technical coefficients X = ( I - A)-1 Y
Fuel requirements matrix (F X) defined as gallons by fuel typeassociated with final demand YF X = F ( I - A)-1 Y
Energy intensity matrix total fuel required to produce onedollars worth of final demand in each sector (Yi = 1)
Emissions intensity matrix total GHG emissions associatedwith one dollars worth of final demand
