Hawaii Tech Directory

We believe it’s the responsibility of all businesses to give back to their communities, and we find that especially true in Hawaiʻi. When we first started down the path to what is now Mālama Solar, we knew two things: we wanted to be in solar because of all the benefits it provides to the environment and economy, and we wanted to give back to our community. More specifically, we wanted to give back to our islands. With these goals in mind, it made sense to choose the name “mālama” for our business.
​
Mālama means to take care of, or to care for, and we can’t think of a better principle to live by, and to name our company after, than that. Our kuleana, or responsibility, as a business and as a people, is to care for our environment and our community. That’s why, at Mālama Solar, we participate in various community organizations that promote sustainability and educating our future generations on ways to care for these beautiful islands we call home.

Nest Egg Guru is an intuitive web-based application that enables financial advisors to more realistically stress-test retirement savings and spending strategies and to easily illustrate how changing factors that are within their clients’ control may impact the outcomes.

The application fills a need in the independent advisor space for a retirement planning tool with an intuitive design, powerful functionality and that produces easily understandable results. Nest Egg Guru provides all of these and also meets advisor demand for a low subscription cost and a client-facing private label portal.

Although independent financial advisors are the primary initial target market, there is also a free version available for consumers that has functionality well beyond most free online calculators.

Founded in Hawai’i in 1985, Oceanit is a “Mind to Market” company that creates disruptive technology from fundamental science. We remain headquartered in Honolulu, Hawai’i, and from our island home, we practice the unique discipline of Intellectual Anarchy. We reimagine innovation to break the bonds of normal and solve the impossible — delivering technologies to the market that impact humans and society.

Our Community

The Oceanit Ohana works together as an extended family, both in and outside of the office. It is our commitment to be positive corporate citizens and active members of the communities in which we live and work.
Innovating for the global community is an important part of our work, but so is actively participating in our local communities. Oceanit believes that access to education, connectivity, and technology is a necessity in today’s world, and we dedicate time to building initiatives and supporting students and community efforts to empower education and imagination around Hawaii.

The global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and the cultural, economic, and social impacts that it precipitated were unprecedented in our lifetimes and made contributing to our community all the more important. While in-person events went virtual and social distance became the norm, Oceanit and our Ohana strove to continue making impactful contributions in our communities.

We rebuilt the Oceanit Research Foundation to advance many of these education and imagination goals. The Oceanit Research Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization focused on positively impacting our community—and all of humanity—through lifelong learning, innovative curriculum, community outreach, and STEM missions that benefit all students – young and old.

We continued our work to build a broader technology industry in Hawai’i by coaching teachers and students in robotics, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs, while also participating and supporting foundations, charities, and events that are close to our hearts.

Oceanit is committed to providing support for humanitarian organizations to help further scientific research, rebuild affected communities, and assist families in need. From groundbreaking projects and research, to sustainable activities in our communities, Oceanit and its employees have participated in fundraisers, donation drives, community activities, job fairs, and much more. Additionally, Oceanit has provided a sustainable working atmosphere by developing products and technologies that are eco-friendly and implementing business practices that could help reduce and manage our own environmental impact and risks.

Founded on Maui in 1995, Pacific Biodiesel is the nation’s longest operating biodiesel producer. Today with nearly 100 employees statewide, the company recycles used cooking oil from restaurants statewide to produce its clean, 100% renewable fuel. Pacific Biodiesel is the only commercial producer of liquid biofuels in Hawaii.

Throughout its history, Pacific Biodiesel’s mission has remained constant: to promote a clean, sustainable energy future through the community-based production of renewable fuels. With a nameplate production capacity of 5.5 million gallons annually, Pacific Biodiesel’s refinery on Hawaii Island utilizes state-of-the art distillation technology to produce the nation’s highest quality biodiesel and on Earth Day 2016 became the first facility in the world to be certified by the Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance for its sustainable production and distribution practices.

Headquartered in Kahului, Hawaii, Pacific Biodiesel was conceived in response to serious environmental and health concerns surrounding unmanageable quantities of used cooking oil being dumped into the Central Maui Landfill. Robert King, then owner of King Diesel that maintained the landfill’s generators, proposed converting the restaurant waste into biodiesel that would fuel the generators. Within a year, his proposal was a reality. The original small-scale plant — recognized as one of the first commercially viable biodiesel plants in the U.S. — marks the beginning of our company. Since opening and operating the very first retail biodiesel pump in America, Pacific Biodiesel has built a solid reputation as a leading pioneer in the rapidly expanding biodiesel industry.

Pacific Biodiesel began offering its multi-feedstock process technology to other developing companies in 1997. That’s when Japanese businessman Soichiro “Sol” Yoshida contracted Pacific Biodiesel to design and build a plant for his Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise in Nagano, Japan. Over the years, Pacific Biodiesel has built 13 facilities on the mainland U.S. and Japan, and completed expansions on several of those plants. Currently, the company’s operations are solely focused in Hawaii where its biodiesel refinery on Hawaii Island began production in 2012.

Shortly after the completion of the Nagano plant, Pacific Biodiesel began to attack an even larger problem for the Maui Landfill — grease trap waste. With the addition of a custom designed processor, our Maui processing facility was able supply its own boiler fuel while diverting 270 tons of trap grease from the landfill each month (unfortunately, due to Maui County planning issues and delays, grease trap waste is no longer able to be processed and composted at this landfill location effective October 2019). In 2000, Pacific Biodiesel built a facility in Honolulu which was recently expanded with a centrifuge to maximize processing efficiency of grease trap waste collected on that island.

The company has been recognized as a renewable energy pioneer by local, national, and international organizations including: the US Dept. of Energy, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Solid Waste Association of North America, the Small Business Administration, and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization.

The company has always focused on recycling with a zero-waste philosophy that incorporates development of value-added co-products. Its collaborative, community-based “agriculture and energy” production model demonstrates a full-circle system of sustainability and climate change solutions designed to help Hawaii achieve a clean, sustainable energy future. The founders of Pacific Biodiesel in 2017 began farming sunflowers and other biofuel crops on Maui – supporting food security, energy security and carbon sequestration. Today the company’s subsidiary Maiden Hawaii Naturals produces culinary oils and cosmetic ingredients from locally grown ingredients.
