In a bold leap towards sustainable energy, Hong Kong is positioning itself to be the first city globally to achieve full hydrogen-powered status. Spearheaded by successful hydrogen trials surpassing initial benchmarks, the metropolis stands at the forefront of the hydrogen energy transition, backed by robust government and business collaborations.

HK Electric’s Strategic Leap into Hydrogen Energy

HK Electric is leading the charge with innovative strategies that integrate hydrogen into its energy generation portfolio. They are breaking ground with cutting-edge, gas-fired generation units at Lamma Power Station, slated for a 2029 launch, purpose-built for eventual hydrogen conversion. With the introduction of their latest power plant, L12, in 2024 boasting an impressive efficiency of over 58%, this shift underscores a significant leap from coal, propelling the city closer to its decarbonization aspirations.

Collaborating with Mitsubishi, HK Electric is pioneering technological innovation at Japan’s Takasago Hydrogen Park, advancing the global hydrogen value chain. These strides place Hong Kong at the pinnacle of the energy transition landscape.

Government-Driven Hydrogen Trials: A Citywide Experimentation

Significant governmental backing has catalyzed multiple hydrogen trial projects across Hong Kong, with nine initiatives greenlit by March 2024. From electricity production to electric vehicle charging stations, these trials are paving paths across diverse economic sectors. Towngas, among the key pioneers, exemplifies the collective drive to integrate hydrogen on a mass scale, with projects underway in partnership with major construction and sports sectors...more
