How to enhance a more circular and decarbonized economy in Hong Kong : 3 concrete examples.

The Hong Kong government has announced clear objectives of carbon neutrality by 2050 and carbon emissions reduced by half in 2035. Veolia, a multinational Environmental company who has been operating in Hong Kong for more than 30 years, is now focusing its activities on three main topics : decarbonization, circular economy and depollution.Laurent Pelletier, CEO of Veolia Hong Kong, will develop three concrete solutions that will help Hong Kong to achieve its targets and how they could be enhanced, based on local specificities.The first example will focus on developing a more circular economy : In addition to the massive waste to energy facilities  which will be built in the coming years to replace landfills, it is important to continue to promote a more circular economy where waste can be recycled and reused into a manufacturing process. Absence of industries on the Hong Kong territory make it challenging. To think at GBA level, and develop more interactions between Hong Kong and the industrial basin located on the other side of the border would help.A better sorting at source and a pre-treatment of the waste would allow to prepare a raw material that would be further recycled in China Mainland and re-injected into manufacturing process lines in the GBA, close to industrial clients.The second example  will focus on District Cooling  and how this solution could be further enhanced in Hong Kong.Buildings represent 90% of the energy consumption in Hong Kong and a large part is related to cooling. Optimising the consumption for this item is key and the District Cooling approach which has been selected for new developments should be further enhanced. The next step would be to develop a better interaction between the cooling production sites and the final users.Last but not least, a city like Hong Kong, where land is rare and expensive, must start thinking to develop smaller assets, for water, waste and energy more integrated into the city. The example of T-Park, which is fully autonomous, should pave the way for future planning and development.
