A spokesman for the Environment and Ecology Bureau (EEB) said today (May 28) 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.

     To date, the Working Group has given agreement-in-principle in stages to a total of 38 applications of hydrogen energy trial projects. The Working Group will continue to make reference to the operational data and experience collected from the trials, in order 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/).
