Background

As our nation proudly advances toward its '3060' dual-carbon commitments, green intelligent energy has become a vital driver for carbon reduction. Hong Kong is at a pivotal moment in its energy transition. The Hong Kong and China Gas Company is actively advancing green fuel initiatives—including Hydrogen, Green methanol, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel —with applications extending beyond maritime, land, and air transport to encompass industrial processes, power generation, and emerging mobility solutions.

Hydrogen Energy

Hydrogen is a clean energy source that emits only water during use, making it an ideal alternative fuel for transportation, power generation, and energy storage. Hydrogen constitutes approximately 50% of the town gas mix and can be easily extracted from our extensive pipeline network spanning across Hong Kong. With over 160 years of experience handling hydrogen and proven technologies for hydrogen extraction and storage, we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on business opportunities in hydrogen energy. We are actively developing projects including supplying hydrogen for vehicles, generating power for construction sites, and providing charging services for electric vehicles. Hydrogen energy has been identified as a critical component of this transition, with the government publishing its comprehensive Hydrogen Strategy in June 2024.

Objective

We invite you to propose a comprehensive strategy and actionable plan that leverages Towngas’s unique competitive advantages to effectively promote and accelerate the development of hydrogen energy applications in Hong Kong, supporting the city’s carbon neutrality goals across multiple sectors.

Expected Outcomes

• Increase public awareness and confidence in hydrogen energy
• Improve understanding of hydrogen safety among the public and key stakeholders
• Establish a cross industry collaboration network
