In alignment with the Nation’s dual-carbon goals and the HKSAR Government’s Strategy on Hydrogen Development, Towngas is positioned to drive the city’s energy transition. Our distinct competitive advantage lies in our extensive, hydrogen-ready infrastructure. Town gas contains approximately 50% hydrogen, by leveraging our 3,700-kilometre underground pipeline network, we can extract high-purity hydrogen directly at the point of use. When utilised in fuel cells for power generation, the only by-product is water vapour—delivering zero-carbon energy with no air pollutant emissions.
Moving beyond infrastructure readiness, Towngas has demonstrated real-world use cases. Our proven track record includes deploying Hong Kong’s first integrated hydrogen power generator application at the 15th National Games golf tournament, launching the city’s first public electric vehicle automatic hydrogen charging system for electric vehicles at the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP), and introducing the first hydrogen-powered EV charging system for a commercial building at our North Point headquarters.
Looking ahead, Towngas is pioneering the transition to green hydrogen. This project, located at the South East New Territories Landfill Extension (SENTX) in Tseung Kwan O, will demonstrate waste-to-energy technology by converting biogas into green hydrogen. Scheduled to commence operations this year, it stands as Hong Kong’s first green hydrogen project.
By scaling these low-carbon energy vectors alongside our parallel advancements in green methanol and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), Towngas is actively building a resilient, sustainable ecosystem to propel Hong Kong toward its 2050 carbon neutrality goal.
