Hong Kong's Hydrogen Uptake Boosted by Cross-Border Collaboration
Key Ideas
- Hong Kong faces challenges in hydrogen uptake due to limited supplies and high costs, but a solution lies in cross-border collaboration for refuelling logistics vehicles.
- Foshan, a major hydrogen production center near Hong Kong, offers cheaper hydrogen and infrastructure, providing valuable lessons for Hong Kong's hydrogen adoption.
- By integrating with the Greater Bay Area's supply chain, Hong Kong can streamline its hydrogen economy and leverage strengths in production and technology development.
- China Petroleum & Chemical is constructing Hong Kong's first hydrogen refuelling station in Yuen Long, boosting the city's infrastructure for hydrogen vehicles.
The uptake of hydrogen in Hong Kong is facing challenges like limited supplies and high costs. To address this, a start-up called H2 Solution suggests allowing logistics vehicles to fill up on hydrogen across the border. Qian Wei, the founder, proposes leveraging Foshan, a major hydrogen production center near Hong Kong, for relatively cheaper hydrogen and refuelling infrastructure. Foshan's experience since 2019 provides valuable lessons for Hong Kong's hydrogen adoption. The integration of Hong Kong's hydrogen economy with the Greater Bay Area's supply chain is seen as a way to optimize production, distribution, and technology development. Additionally, China Petroleum & Chemical is working on establishing Hong Kong's first hydrogen refuelling station in Yuen Long by the end of the year. This initiative aims to enhance the city's hydrogen infrastructure and promote the use of hydrogen fuel cell systems for a more sustainable transportation sector.
