Topic 1: Local Hydrogen Supply โ Towngasโ Innovative ways
In recent years, carbon neutrality has emerged as a crucial global concern, given its profound implications for future generations. The targets to achieve carbon neutrality have been set in the country’s โ30-60โ dual carbon goals and the HKSAR Government’s “Climate Action Plan 2050. Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle (HFCV) is one of the options to achieve zero emission in transportation sector. In this seminar, Speaker will share the current development strategies in the production & delivery in Hong Kong and how our town gas can ignite the hydrogen economy with a fasttrack, safe, efficient, and low-cost hydrogen supply by utilizing the existing infrastructure.ย
Speaker: Ir Sammy Kongย
A 24-year veteran of Hong Kongโs gas and energy sectors, Ir Sammy Kong is a chartered member of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers and the Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers. Now, he serves as the Assistant General Manager โ Commercial & Industrial Marketing & Sales for The Hong Kong and China Gas Co. Ltd. Over recent years, he has been a prime mover in a number of Hong Kongโs rapidly developing hydrogen energy projects, with a particular focus on those related to green transportation.ย
Topic 2: An Introduction on Hydrogen Fuel Cell and It’s Application on Zero Carbon Emission Power Generation
HK SAR Government targeted to reach carbon neutrality in 2050 and reduce 50% of carbon emission by 2030 using 2005 as the base, by โnet -zero electricity generationโ, โenergy saving and green buildingโ, โgreen transportโ, and โwaste reductionโ. Electricity generation take part of 67% of carbon emission in Hong Kong. New energy sources shall be developed to achieve net-zero emission in power generation. Hydrogen Fuel Cell are new energy sources for power generation with no carbon emission which can pay important role in carbon emission reduction roadmap.
In this seminar, Speaker will share the application and installation consideration of hydrogen fuel cell.
Speaker: Mr. PS Chan
More than 30 years experience in building services installation, recently also involved in absorption chiller and hydrogen fuel cell business with his companyโs support. Chan has his first Bachelor of Engineering in Building Services in 2004 and Master of Science in Energy & Environment in 2013 from The City University Hong Kong. Heโs now Assistant General Manager in Project Division of Shun Hing Engineering Contracting Company Limited in Shun Hing Group.
Topic 3: Fire Safety Considerations for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (HFCVs)
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs) are a promising and sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuel-powered transportation. HFCV research and promotion have been spearheaded by certain countries. However, concerns about their safety and the lack of
comprehensive regulations for fire safety in enclosed spaces, like carparks and tunnels, have emerged.ย
This session will provide an overview of the HFCV market, discuss their components and mechanisms, analyze fire hazards and behaviors, review existing regulations, and outline key considerations for effective fire safety designs. The goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the fire safety challenges associated with HFCVs.
Speaker: Ir Yueci Zhaoย
