Renata Fraiha made this Freedom of Information request to Securities and Futures Commission

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

We're waiting for Renata Fraiha to read recent responses and update the status.

Dear Securities and Futures Commission,
I am a student at HK Baptist University doing a project on carbon disclousure . Here are the questions for the government to answer under the Code on Access to Information:
1)In this document https://www.climateready.gov.hk/files/pd... we found that the government plans to phase out coal and replace it with natural gas by 2035. But it is not clear how HK can achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 if we keep burning natural gas. Could you explain explicitly how the city would achieve carbon neutrality by 2050? And how electricity will be generated in a zero-carbon way?
2) How much carbon dioxide was released from burning natural gas in 2020 in HK? What will the figure be in 2035? How does these two figures compare to the HK’s goal with reference to Paris Climate Agreement?
3) In this paper https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jup.2015.09.001 the authors argue that HK has the potential to adopt carbon capture (CC) technologies. What has the government done to explore CC as a solution for decarbonization?
4) The paper refers to the Hong Kong–Yacheng pipeline as a potential infrastructure for transporting carbon dioxide. Please provide info this Bureau has about the pipeline such as its current status. To what extent does the government consider it feasible to use the pipeline for carbon dioxide transportation?
Thanks in advance for your attention.
Yours faithfully,
Renata Fraiha.
