Major renewable energy certificate deal for Hactl
Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl), the SAR’s largest independent handler, has signed an agreement to purchase renewable energy certificates (RECs) from CLP Power Hong Kong Limited equating to 45.9 GWh of power generated from renewable energy sources.
The move is the latest step in Hactl’s green terminal sustainability programme. The agreement covers six years, commencing in August.
Hactl has thus become the largest purchaser of CLP RECs in the airport community. Hactl executive director and CFO Amy Lam (left) said that “Hactl is committed to reducing its carbon footprint as part of our ‘green terminal’programme and shares the government’s goal of zero-carbon emissions under the ‘Climate Action Plan 2050’. We’ve already installed a giant solar farm on our terminal roof and taken many other measures to reduce our overall power consumption.” (cj)
