Construction is an important cornerstone of a city, but the construction industry is the top three industries in terms of global carbon emissions. For example, the main building materials, steel bars and cement, account for 16% of greenhouse gas emissions, so it is very important to do a good job in energy management of buildings . So how do buildings save energy?

First, manage the electricity, water, people, heat, cold and other energy detectors and related equipment in the building in a unified manner, automatically collect relevant data, and reduce energy consumption.

Second, formulate an energy-saving plan for security systems, parking systems, monitoring systems, central air-conditioning systems, and lighting systems.

 

Third, conduct comprehensive analysis on the energy consumption of buildings and use technology to continuously monitor, provide managers with real-time reports and detect abnormal conditions, and achieve energy saving and carbon reduction. More and more buildings in Hong Kong have begun to focus on energy management. The system can save energy and reduce carbon emissions, as well as reduce costs. It can be seen that the system also has huge market potential.

The "Yuen Long Water Purification Facility", which is being rebuilt and is expected to be put into operation in 2027, introduces "aerobic sewage" for the first time"Treatment technology", using "aerobic particles" sludge beads to clean, one-stop sewage treatment, reducing the previous treatmentThe required space, save the electricity required to adjust the treatment environment, cooperate with the improvement of the water flow design, as well as solar energy,Sludge co-anaerobic power generation technology. Located in Yuen Long Industrial Estate, the 8.6-hectare Yuen Long Sewage Treatment Works has been in operation for more thanIn 30 years, the original site will be rebuilt from the end of 2020, and the level of sewage treatment will be upgraded from level 2 to level 3, namelyIt can reduce 50% of residual organic matter in purified water, and increase the amount of sewage treatment from 70,000 cubic meters per day to100,000 cubic meters, became the "Yuen Long Water Purification Facility" and applied "Aerobic Granular Sludge Technology" for the first time.

Chen Yunyin, an engineer of the Drainage Services Department, said that traditional sewage treatment plants need to separate the aerobic zone, anoxic zone and anaerobic zone.By operating the air pump system, adjust the concentration of dissolved oxygen in each area, so that various microorganisms can decontaminate in a suitable environmentFor example, microorganisms in the aerobic zone will remove ammonia that poisons fish, etc., requiring a large space and using long energyStart the air pump periodically to maintain a suitable microbial living environment. And the new technology only through a diameter of only 0.2 toThe 0.4mm aerobic granular sludge beads provide 3 concentrations of dissolved oxygen, and the sewage is injected into the sludge filled with sludge beads.When the system is installed, the three steps of "water intake", "aeration" and "rapid sedimentation" are carried out, and the microorganisms stay and cleanWater, while removing organic matter, ammonia, nitrogen, phosphorus and other pollutants.

If someone told you that exhaust gas was very valuable 100 years ago, you would just call him a crackpot or a lunatic, but today in the EUIn China's carbon trading market, carbon emissions per ton can be sold for 65 euros, while carbon emissions in the mainland can also be sold for 50 yuanRMB. When merchants hear the price difference between the two markets, they will think why it is also a ton of carbon dioxide.How many times will the price differ? And how can the carbon in the mainland be sold abroad?

The author would like to remind that when we often talk about carbon neutrality today, many people simply think that it refers to the carbon neutrality produced in factories.What comes here has no carbon emissions, but the concept is "zero carbon" rather than carbon neutral. Carbon neutrality is allowed for factoriesThe carbon emissions generated can be offset by afforestation or other means of carbon sequestration. The offset carbon emissions are calledCarbon Emission Reduction (CER), the mainland is called China Carbon Emission Reduction(CCER), the original CER only has the official certification Cleaning Development Mechanis (CDM),Later, some authoritative organizations launched some unofficial certifications on their own, which were voluntarily participated by some groups.It can be a regional organization or an industry organization such as the aviation industry. After years of weeding out the weak and retaining the strong,In the voluntary market, Verra's VCS is adopted by the most people, with a market share of more than half.

A must-know buzz concept for public companies- ESG

The concept of ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance respectively. The UN Global Compact first introduced ESG in 2004 as an indicator for evaluating a company's operations, viewing ESG as a new type of data for evaluating companies.

 

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) have jointly initiated the establishment of the Inter-institutional Steering Group on Green and Sustainable Finance since May 5, 2020. The Steering Group aims to coordinate the financial industry's response to climate and environmental risks, accelerate the development of green and sustainable finance in Hong Kong, and support the Government's climate strategy. It is clear that ESG is an integral part of corporate development and is a popular trend among listed companies. As a member of the new energy sector, solar energy has great potential and value in the international market where ESG is prevalent.
