Problem addressed

APAS has developed this EV charger that utilises hyrogen-powered electricity, aiming to achieve zero carbon emission.

Innovation
  • This charger utilises PEM fuel cell technology to covert hydrogen energy into electrical energy, enabling fast charging of EVs.
  • The charger can be operated off-grid.
  • No pollutants and greenhouse gases will be emitted during the process of electricity production. Instead, only a small amount of heat and water will be generated, achieving zero carbon production.
Key impact
  • Clean energy
  • Zero carbon emission
  • Off-grid application
Application
  • Industrial site
  • Off-grid area
  • Areas with emission limitation
Automotive Platforms and Application Systems (APAS)

Automotive Platforms and Application Systems (APAS) R&D Centre was established in 2006 by the Innovation and Technology Commission of HKSAR Government and hosted by the Hong Kong Productivity Council. The Centre undertakes R&D programmes as well as commercialising R&D results in collaboration with industry, universities and technology institutes for the development of the APAS technology. Since its establishment, APAS R&D Centre has carried out over 100 R&D projects and focus on 3 R&D areas, Green Transportation, Smart Mobility and Intelligent Systems. To facilitate greater synergy and further enhance cost effectiveness, APAS is form part of the Hong Kong Productivity Council with effect from 1 Nov 2012.
