The Gas Company, Hawaii's clean gas energy provider, has named Thomas K. L. M. Young as Sr. Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. In addition to overseeing operations on all of the Hawaiian Islands, Young will utilize his 28 years of experience with the Company, his background in chemistry, and his understanding of the local energy complex to continue to develop renewable energy solutions to meet the needs of Hawaii’s 21st century community. The Gas Company already supplies Hawaii’s gas utility customers with about 5% hydrogen made from recycled wastewater in Honolulu. Young is responsible for an initiative to drive the company to a 50% renewable energy supply within five years.


“It is a privilege to be able to work with people of the caliber of Tom Young as we move forward to supply Hawaii with more sustainable gas energy,” said Jeff Kissel, President and CEO. “We’re investing in Tom and the 300 energy professionals who serve Hawaii today with clean, reliable and low-cost gas energy, as the Company has for more than 105 years.”

Mr. Young joined The Gas Company in 1981 as an Assistant Chemist. By 1990 he was promoted to Plant Manager responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Company’s 16.7 million-cubic-foot-capacity synthetic natural gas (SNG) manufacturing plant. In 1998 he assumed responsibility for Oahu-based operations, and in 2008 he became Senior Vice President Operations responsible for the Company’s statewide gas operations including manufacturing, distribution, sales, compliance and project management.


Mr. Young holds a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from the University of Hawaii. He is serving on the State of Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative End Use Efficiency Working Group.


The Gas Company has been in business since 1904 and has a workforce of 300. It provides clean, reliable and energy-efficient gas to residential, business and government customers throughout the state of Hawaii – Oahu, Maui, Hawaii, Kauai, Molokai and Lanai. The Company manufactures synthetic natural gas (SNG) at its 16.7 million-cubic-foot-capacity plant located on Oahu and supplies SNG through a 1,100-mile pipeline network, and supplies propane gas (LPG) statewide.
