In India, BioEnergy Times reported that Asia should explore the creation of a regional sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production hub, according to Paul Chan Mo-po, Financial Secretary, Hong Kong.
Speaking during a finance and decarbonization discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, Chan said Hong Kong’s limited size makes it difficult to host large SAF facilities on its own. However, he said the city could take part through joint investments in neighboring parts of China to help make such projects commercially viable.
Chan’s comments reflect Hong Kong’s constraints in terms of land availability, access to feedstock and renewable energy, as well as the lack of large refining infrastructure. He added that Hong Kong, which aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and cut emissions by 50% from 2005 levels by 2035, is also looking to expand the use of hydrogen in road transport.
