Decarbonisation
Overview
Power generation and transportation are among the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions in Hong Kong. Decarbonisation of these sectors is therefore a priority, in order for the city to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. As hydrogen emerges to fulfil its longstanding potential as a clean energy source, what are the opportunities and challenges of its adoption in Hong Kong?
Learnings
- How can Hong Kong best tap into hydrogen’s potential for a clean, secure and affordable energy future?
- What are the partnerships, technological, regulatory and investment support required for viability and scaling up?
- What are the barriers to developing a hydrogen economy in Hong Kong, and how best to overcome them?
Post Event Actions
- Gain insights on the latest technological, regulatory and investment trends for developing a hydrogen economy.
- Understand the potential of hydrogen for a net-zero economy by 2050, including how hydrogen compares with other fuels for decarbonisation by industry.
- Rethink how your company and industry could collaborate and support the deployment of hydrogen in Hong Kong.
