PolyU research to develop green technologies are supported by Green Tech Fund

Three PolyU research projects have been approved in the first round application of the Green Tech Fund with topics focus on decarbonisation, green transport, energy saving and efficiency. The research teams have explored new approaches with their research competence to develop various green solutions to address environmental challenges.  The three funded projects are as follows, The team led by Prof. Dan TSANG, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering develops innovative designs and science-informed manufacturing technologies for the cutting-edge production of biochar-enhanced construction materials for sustainable waste management and long-term decarbonisation. The pioneer products will include biochar partition block and biochar porous paver. This project “The Biochar-enhanced Construction Materials for Sustainable Waste Management and Decarbonisation” receives a HK$8.8 million grant.  Dr. Lawrence LEE, Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology, has developed a new thermos (electro) chemical method to collect cathode materials from used LIBs to simplify the current procedure, reduce the use/leak of hazardous chemicals, and significantly lower the cost. This project “Recycling of Waste Lithium-ion Batteries as Highly Active Fuel Cell Catalysts” receives a HK$2.8 million grant.   The project “A Safe, Efficient and Facile Approach for Hydrogen Storage and Generation: Catalytic Hydrolysis of Solid-state Hydrogen Storage Materials” receives a HK$3.3 million grant for development. Dr. ZHENG Guangping, Department of Mechanical Engineering has developed a safe and efficient approach for hydrogen storage and efficient catalysts for hydrogen generation, that help solve the pivot issue of hydrogen storage and transportation by using solid-state materials. The technique developed in this project for hydrogen storage and generation will make the widespread utilization of hydrogen energy possible.  The Green Tech Fund of HK$200 million was set up by the Hong Kong SAR Government in 2020 to provide better and more focused funding support for research and development projects which can help Hong Kong decarbonise and enhance environmental protection towards its goal of carbon neutrality before 2050.
