Problem addressed
APAS has developed this EV charger that utilises hyrogen-powered electricity, aiming to achieve zero carbon emission.
Innovation
- This charger utilises PEM fuel cell technology to covert hydrogen energy into electrical energy, enabling fast charging of EVs.
- The charger can be operated off-grid.
- No pollutants and greenhouse gases will be emitted during the process of electricity production. Instead, only a small amount of heat and water will be generated, achieving zero carbon production.
Key impact
- Clean energy
- Zero carbon emission
- Off-grid application
Application
- Industrial site
- Off-grid area
- Areas with emission limitation
Centre of Advanced Power and Autonomous Systems (APAS)
Centre of Advanced Power and Autonomous Systems (APAS) (formerly Automotive Platforms and Application Systems R&D Centre) was established in 2006 and is fully integrated as a business division under HKPC on 1 April 2025. APAS continues to undertake market-led R&D programmes spanning green transportation, smart mobility, intelligent systems and emerging applications, as well as commercialises R&D results in collaboration with industry, universities and technology institutes to enhance the competitiveness of Hong Kong's automotive and other transportation sectors in new energy and smart driving.
