Prof. Chi Sun Poon’s Research Featured in “Carbon Revolution in China” Short Film Series

Prof. Chi Sun Poon, Head of CEE, was recently invited by the Hong Kong Coalition to share his cutting-edge research and development on Eco-Blocks in their short film series “Carbon Revolution in China – Green Construction” (識「碳」再出發 - 綠色建築).
  
The film series explore China’s ambitious goals of achieving carbon neutrality and showcase the low-carbon technologies in various industries to attain green transformation. The fourth episode, “Green Construction”, delves into innovative solutions for reducing carbon emission in the construction industry and highlights how Prof. Poon's visionary work on “Eco-Blocks" is propelling us towards a more sustainable future.

Prof. Poon’s research focuses on transforming waste into building materials to reduce carbon emission by developing Eco-Blocks from construction waste like glass and ash. These Eco-Blocks can effectively capture carbon dioxide and water from the environment, triggering chemical reaction hence enhancing their hardness and durability. To date, the Eco-Blocks have been applied to various development projects in Hong Kong. Prof. Poon is dedicated to driving innovation and sustainability in the built environment. It is believed the low-carbon concrete materials that he pioneered can be used as structural materials in future buildings, thus achieving carbon neutrality and fostering a greener environment.
