HKBU joins the International Green Fuel Alliance
26 November 2025
Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) joined the International Green Fuel Alliance on 17 November- the only university in Hong Kong in the Alliance. By joining, we work with industry and research institutions to advance the green fuels value chain, from production to storage, transport and application. The initiative aims to make a pivotal contribution to optimising the global energy mix and to global efforts towards carbon neutrality.
The International Green Fuel Alliance is committed to promoting research and supporting the formulation of industry policies; building an information exchange and collaboration platform; advancing industry standards and regulations; and promoting Hong Kong as a hub for international green fuels trading and international green shipping centre.
Initiated by CM Energy Tech Co., Ltd., the Alliance’s membership spans 10 countries and regions, comprising over 30 organisations across related industries worldwide. In addition to HKBU, members include China Classification Society, Bureau Veritas, the Sines Port Authority (Portugal), Sinopec (Hong Kong) Limited, The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas), China Merchants Energy Shipping Co., Ltd., and China Nanshan (Group) Co., Ltd.
As the global need for sustainable development accelerates, the transformation of the energy mix plays a crucial role in addressing climate change and achieving long-term ecological goals. Beyond wind and solar power, hydrogen-based green energy, with its low‑carbon attributes and flexible applications, can help tackle the carbon challenges in sectors such as chemicals, metallurgy, heavy transport and long‑duration energy storage.
HKBU is committed to innovating green technologies and actively collaborating with diverse stakeholders to commercialise innovation and technology outcomes, accelerating green industrialisation. The University’s leading green technologies include producing green hydrogen from biomass waste, green hydrogen storage solutions, and plastic waste conversion, offering innovative responses to global environmental challenges and advancing social sustainability.
