The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) has formed a strategic partnership with the Construction Industry Council to jointly promote the use of H₂ energy and other green energies across the industry to achieve zero-carbon buildings. Towngas also plans to install a H₂ power generation unit at the CIC-Zero Carbon Park (CIC-ZCP) in Kowloon Bay, further advancing the local application and development of H₂ energy.

The strategic partnership between Towngas and the Construction Industry Council was announced at the opening ceremony of Construction Month 2025. Both parties will promote the application of sustainable innovative technologies in construction projects. This includes Towngas providing advice to the industry on integrated H₂ power generation solutions and identifying suitable H₂ energy equipment suppliers. Towngas will also assist in installing a H₂ power generation system at CIC-ZCP in Kowloon Bay.

Towngas, as a major local green H₂ supplier, plans to transport green H₂ produced from biogas at a landfill in Tseung Kwan O to CIC-ZCP’s unit for H₂ power generation, demonstrating the application potential of H₂ energy technology and further propelling Hong Kong towards a low-carbon future.

Ir Sammy Kong Siu-kuen, General Manager – Commercial & Industrial Marketing & Sales of Towngas, stated: “Towngas has been actively developing green energy businesses in recent years, including H₂ energy, investing in green energy to accelerate the green transition across various industries.” He also noted that this year’s Construction Month theme, “Green Chapter towards Sustainability”, was instrumental in facilitating this strategic partnership. “In addition to planning to install H₂ power generation demonstration projects, we have also developed H₂ fuel power generation modules suitable for construction sites to promote the development of green construction sites.”

Ir Kong explained that H₂ power generation modules only produce pure water during operation, with no emissions and minimal noise, resolving the air and noise pollution problems associated with traditional diesel generators. Beyond being an environmentally friendly choice, it also directly reduces the impact of construction works on nearby residents, allowing construction sites to operate for longer periods.

Ir Albert Cheng Ting-ning, Executive Director of the Construction Industry Council, stated: “Construction Month 2025 showcases the construction industry’s achievements in promoting low-carbon transformation and innovative technology applications, demonstrating the industry’s determination to work together towards green and smart buildings. CIC-ZCP will work closely with Towngas to explore more H₂ energy application solutions, promoting clean energy and sustainable lifestyles to create a greener, more liveable urban environment for Hong Kong.”

During Construction Month, Towngas will participate in the ZCP Future Mobility Exhibition, introducing its green energy development to the public, including displays of a H₂ extraction model and a H₂ charging station model, and setting up a “H₂ at Your Fingertips” booth game to enhance public interest in and understanding of green energy.
