Climate change is a global threat that is perhaps more imminent than many would like to believe. One of the more direct and effective measures to deal with the threat is decarbonisation, both with an increase in low-carbon electricity supply on the generation side, and by lowering carbon footprint for all energy users.
In Hong Kong, the wider community can play an active role in the fight against climate change with relative ease. Leading energy provider CLP is committed to boosting wider adoption of green energy in support of the HKSAR Government’s goal to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
Following the launch of CLP’s Climate Vision 2050, back in 2007, multiple measures have been put in place in regions where CLP does business. In Hong Kong, the company upsurges the proportion of gas-fired power generation, and increases the renewable energy capacity by rolling out the Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff scheme and the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) programme.
In a recent celebratory event, CLP introduced to the wider community one of the company’s most outstanding partnerships in Hong Kong. Rosewood Hong Kong has made a significant contribution to the development of green energy in the city by committing to buy 13 gigawatt hours’ worth of REC for six years from 2020, equivalent to a reduction of around 4,800 tonnes in carbon emissions associated with electricity. The purchase marks the biggest transaction since the launch of the programme.
