SENT landfill gas utilisation commissioning ceremony
the Tseung Kwan O South East New Territories (SENT) Landfill Gas Utilisation Project designed and implemented by Towngas was launched on 24 Novemeber. The SENT Landfill Gas Utilisation Project is the largest landfill gas conversion facility of its kind in Asia, with an investment of approximately HK$350 million. This is Towngas’ another landfill gas utilisation project, following its Ta Kwu Ling landfill gas project. When the facility starts operation, it is projected that it will reduce the emission of carbon dioxide by 56,000 tonnes per year, equivalent to the 2.4 million tree seedlings. The facility will be one of the largest energy conservation and emission reduction environmental projects in Hong Kong.
The Towngas Landfill Gas Utilisation Project located at Tseung Kwan O was officially launched today. It is the largest landfill gas conversion facility of its kind in Asia. Mr Wong Kam-sing (centre), Secretary for the Environment, Mr Alfred Chan (left), Managing Director of Towngas, and Mr Joe Zorn, Chief Executive Officer of Veolia Hong Kong, attended the opening ceremony.
The winning outfits of the Upcycling Fashion Design Competition, co-organised by Towngas and the Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong (THEi), were exhibited during the ceremony
The Education Centre’s theme is “Waste Reduction at Source, Conversion of Waste into Energy”. A number of exhibition panels about landfills and renewable energy applications are available. In addition, there is a VR Game Zone enabling visitors to understand the source of landfill gas and the procedure of turning waste into energy through VR games.
The Towngas VR game titled Turn Waste to Energy is now available for download at Google Play and App Store.
