The Environment and Ecology Bureau (EEB) announced today (September 9) that the Inter-departmental Working Group on Using Hydrogen as Fuel has given agreement-in-principle to another application of a trial project on hydrogen fuel technology.

     The said project concerns an application of a trial project submitted by the Bibicar International Trade Co., Limited, involving the display of 30 hydrogen fuel cell goods vehicles at a site in Yuen Long and the operation of such vehicles between the site and the Au Tau hydrogen refuelling station for test driving, hydrogen refuelling and sales purposes. 

     To date, the Working Group has given agreement-in-principle in stages to a total of 28 applications of hydrogen energy trial projects. The Working Group will continue to make reference to the operational data and experience collected from the trials to provide advice for the continuous enhancement of the safety and technical guidelines on the local application of hydrogen energy. Details are set out in the thematic webpage (cnsd.gov.hk/en/inter-departmental-working-group-on-using-hydrogen-as-fuel/).

     The Working Group is formed by the EEB, the Transport and Logistics Bureau, the Development Bureau, the Security Bureau, the Environmental Protection Department, the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, the Fire Services Department, the Transport Department, the Marine Department, the Planning Department, the Lands Department, the Buildings Department, the Architectural Services Department and the Labour Department.
