Energy environmental priorities:
Measuring and continuously reducing energy-carbon footprint. [...] promoting carbon auditing, [...] adopting international energy management standards.
---lowering carbon intensity by 60-65% using 2005 as the base by 2030[...]
GHG emissions reduction targets:
[...]supply side and demand side targets will help Hong Kong to reduce about 3.36 million tonnes of CO2 per annum by 2025.[...]take enormous on-going effort of the whole community to reduce Hong Kong’s carbon emission by 80% by 2050[...]equates to 32.8 million tonnes of CO2 per annum.
Pollution control action plans:
Make public transport primary choice for mobility
---Expand rail options and services
---Improve rail operation energy efficiency
---Improve vehicle fuel efficiency
---Testing low-carbon and zero emissions franchised bus technologies
---[...]to have wider use of cleaner vehicles in Hong Kong (such as hybrid and electric technologies) with the following percentages – 15% buses (including franchised buses); 15% heavy goods vehicles; 15% light goods vehicles and 30% private cars.
Decarbonization strategy:
[...]to revamp the fuel mix for local electricity generation by increasing natural gas and reducing coal by 2020, and our extensive energy saving measures will contribute the most to help meet Hong Kong carbon intensity reduction target, while other mitigation measures relating to transportation and waste-to-energy are also relevant.
---[...]using less coal in our local electricity generation, reducing electricity usage in buildings, making transport more energy efficient, and recovering (renewable) energy from waste.
