Nine projects led by scholars at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have been supported by the Environment and Conservation Fund, with a total grant of approximately HK$6.99 million. The awarded projects aim to advance environmental protection and conservation efforts through cutting-edge technologies and innovative research. They cover various pressing environmental issues, including carbon reduction, noise problem, ozone formation, sea water treatment and more.
The Environment and Conservation Fund provides funding support for educational initiatives, community waste reduction and recovery, research, technology demonstration, and other projects related to environmental and conservation matters. The awarded project must help enhance the overall environmental quality of Hong Kong, raise environmental awareness of the local community, and promote public participation in green and low-carbon living.
