The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited, known as Towngas, has been recognized with the 'Best Social Impact Award' and the 'Outstanding Caring Award' in the Enterprise Group at the Federation of Hong Kong Industries’ Industry Cares Recognition Scheme 2024. This accolade acknowledges Towngas' efforts in advancing green energy solutions and its active role in benefiting society in Hong Kong, reflecting the company's commitment to social responsibility.
Towngas, a historic public utility in Hong Kong, aims to leverage its influence to promote environmental protection, nurture talent, and create shared value for sustainable development. The company is actively involved in providing safe and efficient hydrogen supply solutions, with approximately half of its produced gas being hydrogen. Through its network across Hong Kong, customers can access hydrogen by installing extraction equipment, facilitating the adoption of green energy.

This system not only powers electric vehicle charging stations but also supports a combined heat and power system using residual gas for electricity and hot water supply. Collaborating with Citybus, Towngas is working on installing hydrogen extraction facilities at a depot on Hong Kong Island to support hydrogen-powered buses.
Apart from its focus on green energy, Towngas invests resources in community initiatives. The Towngas Green Flame Energy Scientist Programme educates students on future energy trends, climate change, and gas safety, while the Volunteer Service Team organizes events at elderly care homes, providing nostalgic dining experiences for the elderly.
