Founded in 1862, The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) is Hong Kong’s first public utility. Today, we are one of the largest energy suppliers in Hong Kong, operating with world-class corporate management and leading-edge business practices. For the past years, Towngas has grown with Hong Kong, evolving from the simple gas company supplying fuel for street lamps to our current leading position in the energy industry of Chinese mainland and beyond that provides safe, reliable energy solutions to homes and businesses throughout every sector in society.
Towngas made its foray into Chinese mainland in 1994. Currently, we have more than 800 projects, including renewable energy solutions (such as solar photovoltaic), piped city-gas projects, upstream and midstream developments, water supply and urban waste utilisation projects, as well as new energy exploration and utilisation ventures, across 29 provincial regions.
In recent years, we have put tremendous effort in developing clean energy solutions in order to achieve the vision of carbon neutrality. These include hydrogen for vehicles, green methanol for vessels as well as sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
