Policymakers, in particular, are invited to chart the region's policy directives for carbon neutrality.
To achieve these challenging goals, researchers and technical experts are exploring various zero-carbon energy resources, among which hydrogen utilisation is one of the promising alternatives.
Yet, there are many challenges ahead in the policies and technological development, safety precaution and infrastructure needed for the generation, distribution, storage and utilisation of hydrogen.
The Sixth IPCC Assessment Report "The Physical Science Base of Climate Change" released on 9th August 2021 warns that it is only possible to avoid global warming of l .5°C or 2°C if a massive and immediate cut in greenhouse gas emissions is made.
China is striving to achieve a carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, with Hong Kong being at the forefront of this as it vows to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Conference objectives:
- To promote academic and professional exchange in net zero policies, technology development research, applications, future challenges and developments.
- To update attendees on recent advancements in technological development, safety precautions and infrastructural need for generation, distribution, storage and utilisation of hydrogen and clean energy in order to achieve net zero;
