Prof Christopher CHAO, Vice President (Research and Innovation) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), was featured in Sing Tao Daily, sharing PolyU’s strategies for carbon neutrality. He mentioned that PolyU has research units covering a wide range of areas in green technology, including novel catalytic technologies for green ammonia production, green textiles, and valorisation of solid wastes. He also said that PolyU has set a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045, and the University’s Task Force on Campus Carbon Neutrality is committed to translating research results of basic low-carbon technologies in complement with campus governance and artificial intelligence technologies, to attain the goal.
As the largest interdisciplinary research hub in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), the PolyU Academy for Interdisciplinary Research (PAIR) will fully support the University’s efforts in achieving carbon neutrality, by bringing together its constituent research units, including the Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence of Things, the Otto Poon Charitable Foundation Smart Cities Research Institute, the Otto Poon Charitable Foundation Research Institute for Smart Energy, the Research Institute for Sustainable Urban Development, the Research Centre for Resource Engineering towards Carbon Neutrality, the Research Centre of Textile for Future Fashion, etc., to bring forth green tech innovations.
