  10. Phase 3 (Constructing) Phase 1 Phase 2 Information Communication Technology Phrase 1 Phrase 2 Biotechnology Phrase 3 Green Technology Hong Kong Science Park (3-phase Development) Phase 3 Gross floor area: 105,000 sqm Development Cost: US$0.6bn Bldg occupation: End 2013- End 2015

  11. Phase 3 Objectives To plan and develop phase 3 into a sustainable development that incorporated thelatest green technologies and green building design To accomplish its vision being arole model in promoting and implementing green sustain-able constructionand development in Hong Kong Targeting net zero carbonwith due consideration of cost-effectiveness and road-mapping To evolve Phase 3 into the catalystto develop Hong Kong and Pearl River Delta Region asthe hub for clean-tech A New Horizon The Green Decade

  12. China’s Ambition in Green Technology The 12th Five Year Plan (2011-2016) further emphasises energy and environment development Improve Building Energy Saving All new buildings are mandated to achieve 65%energy savings compared to the existing building stock More Mandatory Green Targets The 12th FYP maintained the existing four mandatory greentech targets while adding 6new mandates, e.g. percentage of non-fossil fuel from primary energy consumption Energy and Environmental Taxes New environmental tax plan which is likely to be levied on CO2 emissions and discharges of polluted water, has been submitted to the State Council for review Policies for Innovation Stepped Up Strategic Emerging Industrieswhich include new energy vehicles, energy efficiency and new energy (solar, wind and biomass)are identified to help advance economic development.
