A. Biodiesel Tri-generation System
• Power generation by combustion of Biodiesel
• Hot water from waste heat for dehumidification and
space cooling
• Zero carbon emission source for space cooling and power
• Exceeded power supply to the grid for embodied carbon

Public Consultation on the Future
Development of the Electricity Market
• Shall we have a carbon reduction target ?
• Shall we have a RE target?
– Should we ask the utilities to provide additional RE
capacity?
– Can/Should we request the additional energy from
China in future all from RE?
• Shall we have decentralized storage?
– Should we ask for more capable solution providers
and operators?
