The Future Energy of Hong Kong: Reliable, Affordable and Low Carbon  The growing demand for energy to support our city’s continuous development, combined with a need to reduce our emissions and sustain the environment, calls for a collective effort and leadership at all levels in Hong Kong for our sustainable energy future. In this Conference, BEC will line up a strong panel of experts and practitioners to share their insights on energy generation, as well as the energy management approach, technologies and practical steps that will help us convert intent into actions and stay ahead of future challenges. Key Topics (Download Programme): Shaping Hong Kong's Sustainable Energy Policy Sustainable Energy Future for East Asia: Getting to 2025 and Beyond Post Fukushima Nuclear Challenge: Threat or Prospect Decarbonising Future Transport Scaling Up Energy Efficiency: Prospects in Plain Sight?

Shaping Hong Kong’s cleaner energy future will require a holistic view in our energy management approach. Continuous effort in deploying advanced technologies, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels and switching to cleaner fuels on the supply side will remain as a key to reduce emissions. Equally important is maximising demand-side opportunities through enhancing energy efficiency and conservation practice in both the public and private sectors. It is widely recognised that the potentials in smart grid, fuel efficient transport, waste-to-energy and energy efficiency are massive. Yet, the adoption and progress is far from satisfaction. Economics concerns, misguided perceptions and complexity of consumer behaviour are acting as stumbling blocks to convert intent into actions. It will take a collective effort and leadership at all levels in our society to move things further. - See more at: http://bec.org.hk/events/enviroseries-conference#sthash.IfElY4qn.dpuf The growing demand for energy to support our city’s continuous development, combined with a need to reduce our emissions and sustain the environment, has increased the focus on cleaner energy. High on the sustainability agenda is the formulation of a long-term and environmentally sustainable energy strategy that enables Hong Kong to stay ahead of future challenges. This calls for clear policies, cross-sector collaborations and social innovation. Shaping Hong Kong’s cleaner energy future will require a holistic view in our energy management approach.
