The inauguration ceremony of the 800sq metre CATL Hong Kong Research Institute was held on October 15 – almost one year after the battery manufacturer announced plans to invest HK$1.2 billion ($154 million) in the sector and work with the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) on developing the institute.
an important milestone in Hong Kong''s energy transition towards a zero-carbon future. In support of the Government''s environmental policies and fuel mix targets, CLP Power has built a new gas-fired generation unit at Black Point Power Station in Tuen Mun to further reduce the carbon intensity of its power supply.
The SEE "Smart Energy Community" research project has been running since 2022 by the Department of Geography and the Asian Energy Studies Centre of Hong Kong Baptist University. We worked with 600 households in four communities in Hong Kong from 2022 to 2024, to collect data, exchange knowledge and engage in dialogue through various community
Although topographical reasons make it unlikely that Hong Kong will be able to become completely self-sufficient in clean energy in the near future, a strong expansion of locally produced renewable energy is an important element in decarbonising the power sector, which is responsible for 70% of Hong Kong''s greenhouse gas emissions and today
The Government set out in the Waste Blueprint for Hong Kong 2035 and Hong Kong''s Climate Action Plan 2050 the goals of "Zero Landfill" and carbon neutrality. To achieve the goals, Hong Kong needs sufficient waste-to-energy (WtE) facilities to handle municipal solid waste (MSW), together with promoting waste reduction and clean recycling.
Prompted by the urgency of climate change, this paper analyses the impediments for coal phase-out, by using the Greater Bay Region in China as a case study.Rather than factors specific to coal production, transport and consumption (e.g., subsidies, and vested interests), as suggested by existing literature, the analysis of this paper demonstrates that coal phase-out in
As we strive for our 2050 target, we have also laid out interim goals. This is to enhance the transparency of our climate response. Following the release of CLP''s first Climate Vision 2050 in 2007, CLP has fulfilled its decarbonisation targets in 2010 and 2020 by reducing the carbon intensity of its generation portfolio to below 0.8kg CO 2 /kWh and 0.6kg CO 2 /kWh respectively.
Climate change has become a major issue for sustainable development goals [1], leading to increased energy consumption and energy shortage crisis [2, 3].Energy resilience is critical for sustaining power systems under future climate change risks and the associated extreme events [4, 5].To address these challenges, high penetration of renewable energy sources and energy
Hong Kong will strive to phase out coal as a power generation source by 2035 while increasing its renewable energy share to 10 per cent, the city''s leader has pledged as part of the city''s
Apart from collating energy statistics published elsewhere (such as those on fuel imports from Hong Kong external trade statistics), this report also contains information obtained from various data sources as mentioned in the section "Types and Sources of Energy Statistics" on page 2. 本報告書每年出版一次,而每季出版的能源
Once the new SGT5-8000H turbine starts to feed electricity into Hong Kong''s network, it alone will increase the ratio of gas in CLP''s energy mix from 30 to 50 percent. And considering that CLP provides around 80 percent of Hong Kong''s power, this makes a rather large difference to the city''s overall energy mix and carbon reduction targets.
The Hong Kong Government announced Hong Kong''s Climate Action Plan 2050 in 2021, striving to reduce carbon emissions by 50% before 2035 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2050. The reduction of carbon emissions from the building sector is a major task in Hong Kong because the built environment (New Buildings and Existing Buildings) accounts
In the case of Hong Kong, it is calculated from retained imports of coal and oil products as well as electricity, net of bunkers' usage, after adjustment for supply from stock. "Final energy requirements" (FER) refers to the amount of energy consumed by final users for all energy purposes such as heating, cooking and driving machinery.
In the overall fuel mix for electricity generation in Hong Kong, natural gas dominates the fuel mix in Hong Kong, in 2020 on set-out basis, at around 48%, followed by nuclear energy and renewable energy accounted for around 28% and coal for around 24% .
Energy in Hong Kong refers to the type of energy and its related infrastructure used in Hong Kong. Energy is crucial for the development of trade and industries in Hong Kong with its relatively small usable land. Hong Kong mostly imports its energy from outside or produces it through some intermediate process.
At EMSD, we compile data on the use of energy in Hong Kong and publish the publication "Hong Kong Energy End-use Data" which is available free to anyone. The publication covers energy consumption data of the different fuel types and the specific purposes for which they are consumed, e.g. air conditioning, lighting, cooking, etc.
Here, in the second article, they examine the issue of power generation and offer some policy suggestions for advancing the use of low-carbon and renewable energy sources. A study by the Legislative Council of Hong Kong reveals that power generation accounts for 60% of Hong Kong’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
