Towngas and HKSTP to build Hong Kong’s first public EV hydrogen charging system

It will be completed in Q2 2026.

The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) and Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation have announced their partnership to build Hong Kong’s first public electric vehicle automatic hydrogen charging system.

The project, which begins this end of July at the Hong Kong Science Park, is expected to be completed on the second quarter of 2026.

Hong Kong’s first public electric vehicle automatic hydrogen charging system will be constructed by Towngas, with HKSTP responsible for operations and management. 

The system comprises hydrogen extraction, power generation, energy storage, and electrical control equipment, capable of directly extracting hydrogen with a purity exceeding 99.97% from the gas network to power hydrogen fuel cells, which will supply electricity to electric vehicle charging stations within the Science Park.

Once operational, the system will produce 12 kilograms of hydrogen, sufficient hydrogen to power five 7kW electric vehicle charging stations. The entire facility operates automatically, requiring no manual intervention. Towngas is also installing energy storage equipment to maintain a stable power supply at the charging station.

Towngas and HKSTP said they will continue exploring various hydrogen application solutions
