Research Centre for Carbon-Strategic Catalysis
The establishment of the Research Centre for Carbon-Strategic Catalysis (RC-CSC) aims to supply a platform that can strengthen the research collaborations and efforts in PolyU to achieve more impactful outputs on the advanced catalyst design and synthesis for the sustainable energy development strategies. The government has announced that Hong Kong would strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2050. Currently, electricity generation was the largest source of carbon emissions, accounting for about 66% of the total emissions in Hong Kong, followed by transport (about 18%) and waste (about 7%, mainly from landfills). Therefore, it is an extremely challenging target to achieve carbon neutrality before 2050, which requires all the joint efforts and participation from all the universities of Hong Kong to formulate the proactive, forward-looking and targeted strategy and platforms.

PolyU-Daya Bay Technology and Innovation Research Institute
The PolyU-Daya Bay Technology and Innovation Research Institute has four key research areas, namely new materials and new energy, green chemistry and sustainable catalysis, spatial computing and imaging, and green and smart manufacturing. These areas address current industry needs while paving the way for future advancements. The institute aims to become a model of cooperation between Huizhou and Hong Kong. By leveraging the solid foundation and policy support of the Daya Bay Economic and Technological Development Zone, it will introduce Hong Kong’s expertise to Huizhou’s industrial landscape. This will accelerate the establishment of green and low-carbon systems, enhance manufacturing development, and build competitive industrial clusters in petrochemical energy, new materials, and electronic information.
