My Sustainability Goals for 2024:

1. To raise awareness through the HKIA Renewable Diesel Pilot on the immediate benefits of Renewable Diesel as a low carbon, drop-in fuel that can be used in vehicles and equipment. This may lead to an increase in Renewable Diesel demand in HK and the provision of an affordable and stable supply to many HK users who wish to decrease transportation emissions.

2. To support the trial of low-carbon alternate technologies and fuels, AAHK will pilot the use of hydrogen–powered cargo tractors within HKIA – this pilot will also support the government’s overarching goals for hydrogen application in HK.
