The Youth Energy Saving Award and the New Energy New Generation Solar Car Competition organised by the Environment Bureau and the Electrical & Mechanical Services Department were launched today.
The two competitions are part of the "Energy Saving for All" Campaign to enhance young people's knowledge of renewable energy and energy efficiency.
The Youth Energy Saving Award Competition is divided into primary school, secondary school and open group categories. Participants will propose energy-saving measures for their households or organisations.
Eleven teams in the New Energy New Generation Solar Car Competition will design and construct a solar car to compete in January for four awards: the Renewable Energy Capture & Conversion Efficiency Award, the Energy Efficiency Design Award, the Innovative Design Award and the Best Team Spirit Award.
Today's ceremony also showcased the fifth-generation solar-powered electric car, SOPHIE V developed by the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education, including a demonstration of its operation.
