-- The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) is fully supporting the 15th National Games of the People’s Republic of China (National Games), the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympic Games. As Silver Sponsor of the 2025 National Games Hong Kong Competition, Towngas is supporting the National Games golf tournament by utilising an integrated hydrogen power generator to provide electricity to the venue, contributing to a green, low-carbon sporting event.
The integrated hydrogen power generator, jointly developed by Towngas and Chi Shing New Energy Technology Company Limited, has recently been installed at the National Games golf competition venue in Fanling. This unit, approximately the size of a shipping container, contains an integrated power generation system and hydrogen storage cylinders. Using hydrogen produced by Towngas to generate electricity, combined with a battery energy storage system, the hydrogen power generator supplies temporary electricity to the on-site police command headquarters, volunteer headquarters, and offices of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department and Towngas.
Mr Raymond Poon Kwok-ying, Director of Electrical and Mechanical Services, led a departmental team to the site to learn about the operation and safety facilities of Hong Kong’s first integrated hydrogen power generator, and exchanged views with Mr Don Cheng Hill-kwong, Chief Operating Officer – Hong Kong Business of Towngas, on hydrogen energy development in Hong Kong.
Mr Cheng stated: “Through the use of locally manufactured low-carbon hydrogen, the event’s carbon emissions will be significantly reduced, demonstrating Hong Kong’s innovative capabilities in hydrogen energy application and sustainable development.” Towngas has also arranged for several academic groups to visit the hydrogen power generation system, allowing them to gain first-hand understanding of how Hong Kong’s first integrated hydrogen power generator operates, thereby promoting exchange between industry and academia.
Towngas will continue to expand hydrogen energy technology applications, working hand in hand with all sectors of society to promote green energy development in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.
