Founded in 1862, The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) is Hong Kong’s first public utility. Today, we are one of the largest energy suppliers in Hong Kong, supplying city gas to over 2 million customers through more than 3,700 km of gas pipelines. Besides, we are now serving more than 40 million customers in Chinese mainland. Over the years, Towngas has transformed from a gas company supplying fuel for street lamps to a leader in the energy industry on the Chinese mainland and beyond. We now provide safe and reliable energy solutions to homes and businesses across all sectors of society.
Our expansion into Chinese mainland began in 1994, and our business now encompasses city-gas, water and environmental services, renewable energy, including distributed photovoltaics and energy storage, as well as green energy initiatives.
In recent years, the Group has actively pursued green energy advancements and championed sustainable transportation solutions. These initiatives include offering green methanol, hydrogen, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for sea, land, and air transport, all contributing to China’s “dual carbon” goals
