Towngas, Bravo Transport join hands to promote hydrogen energy development in HK

The parties will explore the use of hydrogen energy as a source of fuel for public buses.

The parent company of City Bus, Bravo Transport has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) to explore the use of hydrogen as an alternative source of fuel for public buses.

The MoU will also allow the parties to exchange information on hydrogen-related business and marketing plans. 

Under the MoU, Towngas and Bravo Transport will collaborate on a project for a City Bus depot on Hong Kong Island.

Towngas will be responsible for the design and extension of the existing pipe network, the supply of fuel cell-graded hydrogen, the installation of a hydrogen extraction facility and the provision of a maintenance service for the above equipment. 

Meanwhile, Bravo Transport’s operating company Citybus will be responsible for procuring and maintaining hydrogen buses, and deploying and operating hydrogen buses on selected routes to obtain relevant operational data and information. 

The project is likely to be completed within 12 months.

“Upon completion, the hydrogen extraction facility will be able to extract about 500 kg of hydrogen per day, which is sufficient for the operation of 10-12 hydrogen buses for one day,” the parties said.
