HKIE-MMNC Technical Seminar Series for “Power Generation”

Theme: CLP Decarbonization Journey (中電減碳之旅)

Organizer: MMNC Division

Date & Time: 3 Dec 2024 (Tuesday), 6:30pm -8pm

Venue: Chan Yat Mei Sophie Room, HKIE Headquarters & Webinar

Programme Highlights:

In 1990s, when coal was still the mainstream power generation option in the world, CLP already introduced nuclear power and natural gas power generation to Hong Kong to significantly reduce emissions.  In 2007, CLP launched “Climate Vision 2050” to support the transition towards a sustainable, low-carbon future and to guide the strategy on managing climate-related risks and opportunities.  The climate target was further updated in 2021 and 2024, aiming at achieving net-zero emission by 2050.

Hong Kong has set targets to reduce half of the carbon emission by 2035 and then achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.  At the peak of Hong Kong’s carbon emission in 2014, power generation accounted for around 70% of the emission.  It is essential that electricity supply in Hong Kong is quickly decarbonised to set the foundation for the economy and other sectors to reduce their carbon footprint.  This presentation will highlight the challenges in this transformation and the plan in supporting both the Climate Vision 2050 and carbon neutrality target of Hong Kong.
