Towngas and Linde HKO ink hydrogen supply chain deal

The entire supply chain will operate in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) and Linde HKO Limited (Linde HKO) are collaborating on the production, sales and distribution of locally manufactured hydrogen.

Under the memorandum of understanding, Towngas will provide Linde HKO with a stable supply of locally produced hydrogen. Linde HKO will compress and store the hydrogen in suitable carriers for distribution to downstream customers, including construction sites and hydrogen refuelling stations.

The entire hydrogen supply chain will operate wholly within Hong Kong. This includes hydrogen extraction from gas produced at Towngas’s Tai Po Gas Production Plant, green hydrogen converted from biogas collected at the Tseung Kwan O landfill, through to local gas compression, storage and transport, culminating in local consumption.

Two tonnes of hydrogen will be supplied daily in the initial phase. This will be enough for the basic needs of 14 local construction sites.
