The Carbon Lite System (CLS), a company selected into the Impact Kommons Project of the New World Development Startup Project, has successfully developed the waste wood, which is turned into bio-carbon by heating and other methods, and then turned into environmentally friendly building materials, which can replace up to In addition to meeting the negative emission target, 40% of the concrete has a durability of more than 100 years. It has been applied for the Queen's Hill public housing construction site under the charge of Hip Hing Construction, a subsidiary of New World, and is awaiting approval from the Housing Department.

The Start-up Acceleration Program under New World Development will provide support to start-ups, and use the group's vast network and resources to assist in the commercialization of their businesses and solutions. One is to contribute to environmental protection.
Waste wood is converted into bio-carbon to make building materials to achieve negative emission targets
Carbon Lite System (CLS) Environmental Technologies is one of the start-ups under the plan, researching the conversion of waste wood into new energy.
One of the founders and CEO Liang Peihui pointed out that they turn waste wood into bio-carbon through heating and other methods, and then make it into building materials to achieve the goal of negative emissions, which can reach 100 years or even 1000 years of durability, and every kilogram The biochar can lock approximately 3.5 kg of carbon dioxide permanently in the soil.
Zheng Yihao, Chief Operating Officer of Carbon Lite System, said that bio-carbon is intended to be used in the construction of Queen's Hill public housing.

Reduce the proportion of concrete to reduce carbon emissions
Liang Peihui said that adding bio-carbon to building materials can reduce the proportion of concrete to reduce carbon emissions. Through continuous research, the proportion of bio-carbon in building materials can be increased to 40%, and bio-carbon building materials have low thermal conductivity. , Low density, and the characteristics of absorbing volatile organic compounds.
Another founder and Chief Operating Officer Zheng Yihao said that he cooperated with Hip Hing Construction Group and applied to the Housing Department for the use of bio-carbon building materials. After approval, it will be used on the Queens Hill public housing construction site that Hip Hing is responsible for, becoming the first Construction projects of bio-carbon building materials.

Encourage the improvement of building performance through IoT technology and data
BlueSky Energy Technology is another start-up under the plan, which encourages people to improve the performance of buildings through the use of IoT technology and data.
BlueSky Director Deng Bixian pointed out that the electricity consumption of buildings accounts for 67% of Hong Kong's carbon footprint. Through the installation of IoT sensors, electricity consumption is monitored, and artificial intelligence analysis is used to provide users with energy-saving suggestions.
In addition to power monitoring, BlueSky also has an air monitoring system. By installing an indoor air monitor and starting the system, the mobile phone can be used to monitor the air index of the indoor space, and the AI system can make recommendations to improve air quality.
Deng Bixian pointed out that more than 200 locations in Hong Kong have been equipped with IoT sensors, which is estimated to save about 90,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity each year. In terms of air monitoring systems, there are a total of 20,000 locations where smart systems are installed in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing. , Can save nearly 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide, which is equivalent to planting 16,000 trees.
She pointed out that different from the general electricity or air monitoring system, BlueSky focuses on the user’s personal experience, turning abstract data into quantifiable units. In addition to improving users’ environmental knowledge and participation, it can also help save costs. So as to achieve the goal of global carbon reduction.
