New Energy Innovations: Accelerating Hydrogen, EV, and New Energy Industry Development

• All Self-contained Mobile Hydrogen Station
  Developed by APAS, the integrated mobile hydrogen refuelling station combines hydrogen production, storage and refuelling functions within a single system. Compared with conventional hydrogen refuelling stations, it offers higher efficiency, greater flexibility, enhanced safety and lower deployment costs, supporting the practical adoption of hydrogen energy solutions.
• IsoGel-TNE: The Next-Generation Phase Change Nanoemulsion Based Thermal Management Platform Technology
  This next-generation thermal management technology uses innovative phase-change nanoemulsion materials to provide efficient cooling and energy-saving performance for electric vehicle batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, high-power electronics and smart HVAC systems. The platform delivers high latent heat storage capacity with low viscosity and energy-efficient production.
• Lithium Battery Recycling Technology
  The closed-loop lithium battery recycling technology efficiently recovers valuable battery materials including cathodes, anodes, aluminium foil, copper foil and separators with minimal chemical consumption and low carbon emissions. The technology promotes resource circularity while addressing the growing challenge of battery waste management.
   

Circular Economy: Enhancing Environmental Management with AI and Low-Carbon Technologies 

• AquaShield Intelligence
  AquaShield Intelligence integrates solar-powered monitoring buoys, cloud services and AI-powered analytics for real-time water quality monitoring and predictive analysis. By identifying water quality deterioration trends and issuing actionable alerts, the system helps safeguard aquaculture operations and marine environments against ecological risks such as algal blooms.
• “ANC” Advanced Wastewater Treatment System
  The proprietary Anammox-Chemical Co-Treatment Process effectively treats industrial wastewater with high ammonia and hard-to-degrade pollutants while significantly reducing environmental impact. Compared with conventional treatment methods, the system can reduce power consumption by approximately 85%, lower carbon emissions by up to 90%, and decrease operating costs by around 75%.
• Food AI Genie
  Food AI Genie combines mechanical crushing with AI-powered impurity removal technology to convert food waste into slurry for efficient transport and recycling. The solution reduces collection frequency to one or two times per week and lowers transportation costs by 40% to 70%, supporting food waste valorisation into biogas and compost while advancing a circular economy.
   

PropTech Management: Enhancing Facility Maintenance Efficiency through Robotics

• Tank Genie
  Tank Genie, a finalist of the R&D 100 Awards 2026, is an innovative ultra-compact water tank cleaning robot that transforms conventional maintenance practices through remote operation, simultaneous cleaning and sludge extraction, and digital monitoring capabilities. By eliminating the need for workers to enter confined spaces, the system enhances occupational safety while driving the development of smart property management.
   

ESG One: Empowering Enterprises to Drive ESG Excellence and Build a Green Ecosystem
In addition to showcasing advanced green tech applications, HKPC is actively fostering a green ecosystem via its ESG One platform. Through its comprehensive “6 ESG Approaches”, the platform offers end-to-end support, spanning knowledge, technology, funding, and talent, to help businesses seamlessly scale their ESG capabilities.
