Towngas and CIC partner to advance hydrogen energy in construction industry with demonstration project at Zero Carbon Park

November 3, 2025 -- 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 hydrogen energy and other green energies across the industry to achieve zero-carbon buildings. Towngas also plans to install a hydrogen power generation unit at the CIC-Zero Carbon Park (CIC-ZCP) in Kowloon Bay, further advancing the local application and development of hydrogen 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 hydrogen power generation solutions and identifying suitable hydrogen energy equipment suppliers. Towngas will also assist in installing a hydrogen power generation system at CIC-ZCP in Kowloon Bay.

Towngas, as a major local green hydrogen supplier, plans to transport green hydrogen produced from biogas at a landfill in Tseung Kwan O to CIC-ZCP’s unit for hydrogen power generation, demonstrating the application potential of hydrogen 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 hydrogen 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 hydrogen power generation demonstration projects, we have also developed hydrogen fuel power generation modules suitable for construction sites to promote the development of green construction sites.”

Ir Kong explained that hydrogen 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 hydrogen 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 hydrogen extraction model and a hydrogen charging station model, and setting up a “Hydrogen at Your Fingertips” booth game to enhance public interest in and understanding of green energy.

ZCP Future Mobility Exhibition
- Date: 31 October to 2 November 2025 (Friday to Sunday)
- Time: 12:00 noon – 6:00 pm
