Henk B. Rogers is a Dutch-born entrepreneur and clean energy proponent, who has spent the past decade of his career to the research, development, advocacy and implementation of renewable energy sources in his home of Hawaii. Rogers went on to secure the rights for the popular video game Tetris, which 30 years later remains a bestseller and global icon of gaming culture. In 2015, Rogers founded Blue Planet Energy Systems to advance his personal mission of ending the use of carbon-based fuel worldwide.
He led the development of Blue Ion, a prepackaged energy storage solution combining Sony’s battery technology with proprietary system architecture and energy management software.
Available on the market since August 2015, Blue Ion offers a fully automated renewable energy solution to aid the adoption of off-grid photovoltaic systems and reduce Hawaii’s reliance on carbon-based fuels. Using Blue Ion technology, Rogers declared both his residences in Honolulu and Kailua-Kona completely energy independent.
