Harnessed landfill gas to
power a commercial CHP
system for a hospital,
reducing carbon
emissions by 2,000
tonnes annually
Installed a Rainwater
Harvesting System at
our Tai Po plant to save
27,800 m3 of water
each year
The Coalbed Methane
(CBM) liquefaction
facility in Shanxi
province can produce
250 million m3
of CBM, offsetting
around 390,000 tonnes
of carbon emissions
As a gas supplier, the way we choose our energy resources and develop our energy projects is inherently
important to improving our environmental performance.
Natural gas is adaptable and creates low
emissions, so it is likely to play an increased
role in meeting future energy demands. Since
2006, we have used natural gas as an effective
feedstock option to produce town gas for
households in Hong Kong. We also modified our
plant at Ma Tau Kok to replace naphtha with
natural gas.
