Director of Hong Kong Environment refers to carbon neutrality and need to invest capit

Huang Jinxing, the director of the Hong Kong Environment Bureau, said in the webmaster today that the so -called carbon reduction is valuable. The overall society needs to invest considerable capital to promote cleanliness and net zero -energy power generation, and this process will inevitably involve the pressure on electricity bills.

Huang Jinxing said in the article that the road to low -carbon transformation in Hong Kong has made more progress. By preliminary data last year, the per capita carbon emissions of Hong Kong people fell to about 4.5 metric tons.He said that it needs to be carbon -reducing in time and start a more active action at the moment.The building accounts for about 90 % of the electricity consumption in Hong Kong. Promoting energy conservation and enhancement of energy efficiency will help the overall society, industries, and even citizens to balance the burden of electricity costs during energy transformation.The government is responsible for the use of as a lead to promote energy conservation. Last year's electricity consumption was more than 110 million kWh's electricity saving in 2015. It is equivalent to a decrease of about 0.2%of the total carbon emissions in Hong Kong.About $ 17 million).

Huang Jinxing said that the government has also newly set the "green energy target", deepen energy saving and renewable energy, and expand to all buildings and infrastructure projects covering all government buildings.Further enhanced the government's overall energy performance by 6%.The government will strengthen regulations to continue to improve the energy performance of new and existing buildings, and require developers and building owners to save energy to save carbon reduction responsible for carbon reduction.Energy -saving; cooling system in the application area of the new development zone, and further improve the "compulsory performance source benefits label plan".

He also said that in the face of the recent surge in international fuel prices, energy prices and electricity prices in various places have been greatly raised, and it means that society needs low carbon transformation to welcome the new era of "carbon neutrality".It is necessary to invest considerable capital and promote cleanliness and net zero -energy power generation. This process will inevitably involve pressure on electricity bills.
