EMSD leads delegation to study hydrogen development in Yangtze River Delta region (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     A delegation led by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) completed their three-day technical visits on hydrogen in Yangtze River Delta region today (May 23).

     The Yangtze River Delta is one of the most vibrant regions for the hydrogen industry development in the country, with a complete industrial chain and an innovation-driven ecosystem. The delegation, comprised international and Hong Kong hydrogen experts and corporate representatives, visited state-level key hydrogen testing facilities and leading hydrogen enterprises in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They learnt about fuel cell vehicles, fuel cells, liquid hydrogen equipment, hydrogen tank containers, electrolysers and railway-related hydrogen equipment, as well as a variety of innovative and large-scale application scenarios, including the Jiaxing Zhapu International Port Container Terminal and a hydrogen refuelling station supplied with hydrogen via pipelines.

     The delegation learnt about national-level hydrogen testing capabilities, research and manufacturing capacities across the five core segments of the hydrogen industry namely production, storage, transportation, refuelling and utilisation, as well as application outcomes of hydrogen in various scenarios, further deepening collaboration between the country and international partners in hydrogen development.

     When concluding the visits, the Assistant Director (Gas and General Legislation) of the EMSD, Mr Eric Wong, said that, as set out in "The Chief Executive's 2025 Policy Address", Hong Kong will actively integrate itself into the country's overall development and plays an active role of “Bringing in” and “Going Global”. The visits were one of the key events of the Hydrogen Week. By leading representatives from more than ten countries and hydrogen experts to witness on-site the significant potential of the hydrogen energy technologies in the country and Hong Kong, the visits are expected to help foster more cross-border co-operation opportunities, fully demonstrating Hong Kong's unique role as a "super connector" and "super value-adder".

     ​Looking ahead, the EMSD will continue to make use of key platforms such as the Hydrogen Week, to give full play to Hong Kong's advantages of internationalisation and connecting the Mainland and the world. This will help high-quality hydrogen enterprises from the Mainland and Hong Kong to "go global", while bringing international enterprises and capital into the country, thereby contributing to the robust development of the country's hydrogen industry in the international market.
