Zone 1: Climate Change and Fuel Choice

Burning fossil fuels contributes to climate change but there is no perfect fuel yet to completely replace it. This zone examines what our best current options are, bearing in mind reliability, cost, emissions and safety.

Zone 2: Renewable Energy

As the development of renewable energy becomes more mature, it has a pivotal role to play in reducing emissions. This zone gives a comprehensive introduction to common types of renewable energy such as wind power, hydro power and solar power. Visitors are given a holistic view on the feasibility of applying renewable energy in Hong Kong.

Zone 3: Natural Gas

Natural gas will play an increasingly key role in Hong Kong’s future fuel mix. In this zone, visitors can learn about natural gas from its formation and production to its transport and use for power generation. It also showcases how we can enhance Hong Kong’s energy security by tapping diversified sources of natural gas.

Zone 4: Nuclear Power

Nuclear power is a reliable and clean energy source but social acceptance is a challenge. People are understandably concerned over nuclear safety and waste management. This zone covers the full spectrum of information from nuclear basics, nuclear safety, fuel cycle management, radiation in our daily life, to the future development of nuclear energy by interactive touch panels. It is also equipped with a 235° 3D Immersive Display System that takes visitors to the insides of a nuclear reactor.

Zone 5: Powering the Future

Climate change is a global concern. Scientists, researchers and policy makers are working together to tackle its impact. This zone introduces the future development potential of low carbon energy sources, including CityU’s own research related to the development of low carbon energy. It also demonstrates how each of us can play a part by adopting a low carbon lifestyle.

Five themed zones at the centre present a thought-provoking, interactive experience covering the generation principles, applications, advantages and limitations of different low carbon energy sources as well as their future development potential.
