HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2026 – On June 16, the 2026 Hainan Cultural and Tourism Promotion Events, under the theme of “Sunny Hainan · Heart’s Desire,” were held in Hong Kong. Leaders from Hong Kong’s cultural and tourism authorities, heads of industry associations, and representatives of key cultural and tourism enterprises from home and abroad gathered to explore new opportunities for cooperation and draw up a blueprint for the industry’s future.
2026 Hainan Cultural and Tourism Promotion Events Held in Hong Kong
Liu Xiaoming, Governor of the People’s Government of Hainan Province, and Cheuk Wing-hing, Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, attended the events and delivered speeches. During the promotional session, Chen Tiejun, Director of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports of Hainan Province, unveiled the “Top Ten Calling Cards of Hainan Tourism,” which received enthusiastic responses and positive feedback from various sectors in Hong Kong. Attendees from Hong Kong unanimously agreed that Hong Kong and Hainan boast highly complementary cultural and tourism resources and immense potential for cooperation.
Since the launch of special customs operations of the Hainan Free Trade Port, its distinctive opening-up advantages, such as “zero tariffs, low tax rates, a simplified tax system” and “tariff exemption for value-added processing,” have become increasingly prominent. These policies have continuously made Hainan more attractive to businesses and opened up broader opportunities for Hong Kong investors and entrepreneurs.
On the same day, at the “Invest in the Free Trade Port, Share New Opportunities” Symposium for Hong Kong Enterprises held in Hong Kong, four cooperation agreements were formally signed, covering high-end commerce, cultural and tourism integration, and regional industrial coordination. Hong Kong business representatives expressed strong interest in deepening their presence in Hainan.
Hainan and Hong Kong share a long history of cooperation, and in recent years, a steady stream of favorable policies has been introduced. Since the signing of the Hainan-Hong Kong Memorandum of Cooperation in March 2025, bilateral cooperation has accelerated across the board. In 2025, goods trade between the two sides reached RMB 9.35 billion, increasing by more than two times from 2020. A total of 793 new Hong Kong-funded enterprises were established in Hainan, a year-on-year increase of 21.5%. Hainan has also issued offshore RMB bonds in Hong Kong for four consecutive years, with a cumulative total of RMB 18 billion. Currently, an average of four direct flights operate daily between Hong Kong and Hainan, with the fastest travel time under two hours, facilitating the rapid emergence of the “Hainan-Hong Kong Living Circle.”

City’s first hospital to adopt Renewable Diesel Blend R33, reducing up to 30% lifecycle CO2e emissions
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2026 – Shell Hong Kong Limited (Shell) and St. Paul’s Hospital on Tuesday held the “Shell x St. Paul’s Hospital – Integrated Decarbonisation Solutions Kick-off Ceremony”, reinforcing their shared commitment to sustainable development. As one of the world’s largest suppliers of biofuels, Shell has been promoting renewable diesel as a practical, lower-carbon energy solution. St. Paul’s Hospital is the first hospital in Hong Kong to adopt Shell Renewable Diesel Blend R33¹ for its boiler system. The switch required no modification to its existing equipment and offers up to 30%2 less CO2e emissions on a life cycle basis3 compared to EN 590 B0 diesel4. In addition, St. Paul’s Hospital installed Shell Recharge electric vehicle charging facilities in its parking lot and joined Shell’s CO2 Compensation Programme as part of its low-carbon initiatives.
(From left) Mr. Dick Chan, General Manager of Shell Commercial Fuels – Hong Kong and Macau; Ms. Berry Wong, General Manager of Shell Mobility – Hong Kong and Macau; Mr. Hu Chuan, Vice President of Shell Mobility & Convenience – China; Sr. Nancy Cheung, Managing Director of St. Paul’s Hospital; Mr. Gilbert Lee, General Manager of St. Paul’s Hospital; and Mr. Keith Ho, Facilities Manager of St. Paul’s Hospital, witness the launch of the “Integrated Decarbonisation Solutions”.
First hospital in Hong Kong: adopting renewable diesel for boiler systems
Shell is committed to “Power Progress Together” by working together with their customers and partners, to provide the energy products that people need to power their lives and businesses today, while helping to build the low-carbon energy system of the future. With Shell’s support, St. Paul’s Hospital has pioneered a healthcare first in Hong Kong to implement Shell Renewable Diesel Blend R331 to power its boiler system.
Mr. Dick Chan, General Manager of Shell Commercial Fuels – Hong Kong and Macau, and Sr. Nancy Cheung, Managing Director of St. Paul’s Hospital, sign an agreement on “Integrated Decarbonisation Solutions – CO2 Compensation Programme “, marking their continued commitment to decarbonisation.
Renewable diesel: enabling value chain decarbonisation for businesses
In response to St. Paul’s Hospital’s need for a stable low-carbon energy solution, Shell introduced Renewable Diesel Blend R331, which offers up to 30%2 less CO2e emissions on a life cycle basis3 compared to EN 590 B0 diesel4, helping the hospital reduce value chain emissions and meet its Scope 1 and Scope 2 targets.
Compatible with conventional diesel equipment
The launch of Shell Renewable Diesel marks a significant milestone in Shell’s support in the energy transition journey in Hong Kong. Mr. Dick Chan, General Manager of Shell Commercial Fuels – Hong Kong and Macau of Shell Hong Kong Limited, said: “We are honoured to witness St. Paul’s Hospital becoming a low-carbon promoter in Hong Kong’s healthcare sector, as the first to adopt Shell Renewable Diesel Blend R331. This represents the shared commitment of both the energy sector and the healthcare sector to work together for a sustainable future.”
Businesses selecting sustainable low-carbon energy solutions often face challenges such as capital investment, equipment compatibility, and operational impact. Shell Renewable Diesel is fully compatible with conventional diesel boilers or engines and can serve as a direct replacement fuel without any modifications or adding new equipment5, helping businesses lower costs and emissions. It also reduces regulated air pollutants6, making it suitable for use across various industries including construction, transport and logistics, industrial operations, and healthcare.
Comprehensive technical support for a smooth transition
A hospital’s boiler system is essential to daily operations. It supplies hot water and steam for the central heating system, wards, operating theatres, laundry services, and sterilisation equipment. Any disruption to boiler operations would have a significant impact on the hospital functioning. For this reason, St. Paul’s Hospital places great importance on the stability of its fuel supply. Switching to Shell Renewable Diesel Blend R331 required no modification to the hospital’s existing boiler system. To ensure a smooth transition, Shell provided professional technical support and conducted comprehensive inspections of the boiler system before the switch to ensure continued safe and reliable operation.
Mr. Gilbert Lee, General Manager of St. Paul’s Hospital, welcomed the collaboration. He said: “It is an undeniable fact that renewable energy has become a key direction of future energy transition, aligning with the global trend towards low carbon and environmental sustainability. Looking ahead, St. Paul’s Hospital will continue to collaborate with different sectors to promote more practical and effective low-carbon measures, contributing to a greener and healthier future for both the hospital and the wider community.”
Advancing low-carbon operations towards a sustainable future In addition, St. Paul’s Hospital continues to advance low-carbon operations through its collaboration with Shell, taking a multi-pronged approach to building a low-carbon energy ecosystem. This includes the installation of two 50kW Shell Recharge fast-charging facilities in the hospital’s parking lot, providing visitors and staff with a more environmentally friendly and convenient energy option. At the same time, the hospital has adopted low-carbon fuel solutions and actively participated in Shell’s CO₂ Compensation Programme, supporting independently verified environmental, technology, and waste management projects. Through a simple and cost-efficient approach, these initiatives help compensate unavoidable carbon emissions from daily operations while promoting sustainable development in the communities where the projects are located.
Together, these initiatives not only enhance the hospital’s overall sustainability performance but also encourage the healthcare sector to explore low-carbon operational models, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable future.
Shell will continue to work with St. Paul’s Hospital and other partners to promote practical low-carbon solutions, which fully support Hong Kong’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and create a sustainable environment for future generations.

Shell’s net carbon intensity
Also, in this contentwe may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.
Shell’s net-zero emissions target
Shell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our combined Scope 1 and 2 target, NCI target and our oil products ambition over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.
Forward-Looking non-GAAP measures
This content may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as free cash flow and underlying operating expenses. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.

About Shell’s CO₂ Compensation Programme
Shell is one of the most established traders of carbon credits in the world. On the journey to reduce carbon emissions, Shell offers commercial customers carbon offset solutions that provide a simple and cost-effective way to offset hard-to-abate emissions. Shell automatically helps commercial customers calculate their carbon emissions and offsets them through carbon credits generated from various environmental, technology and waste management projects – such as initiatives related to protecting or re-developing natural ecosystems like forests, grasslands and wetlands, as well as investing in renewable energy and low-emission cooking appliances – to reduce concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
These projects include the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) project in Congo, the protection of peat swamp forests in Indonesia, and tropical forest protection projects in Acre, Brazil. Taking the Katingan Mentaya Wildlife and Conservation Project in Indonesia as an example, it protects approximately 150,000 hectares of intact peat swamp forest and five endangered species, generating an average of 7.45 million carbon credits each year (equivalent to offsetting 7.45 million tonnes of CO2e) – an impact equivalent to removing 2 million cars from the road each year, making a significant contribution to global carbon reduction.

Kerjasama ini menandakan pencapaian penting dalam penubuhan piawaian industri pertama Malaysia serta ekosistem tempatan untuk menyokong pertumbuhan teknologi pembinaan bercetak 3D.
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 Jun 2026 – Dalam langkah menetapkan penanda aras baharu bagi industri pembinaan negara, V3D Asia bersama cabang komersialnya, Nuvah Sdn. Bhd., mengumumkan kerjasama strategik dengan SIRIM Academy Sdn Bhd bagi membangunkan piawaian industri pertama Malaysia untuk Teknologi Pencetakan Konkrit 3D (3D Construction Printing, 3DCP). Inisiatif ini merupakan satu langkah penting ke arah mempercepatkan penggunaan teknologi pembinaan automatik secara selamat, tersusun dan pada skala yang lebih meluas di seluruh negara.
Berteraskan falsafah “Direka di Jepun, Dibina di Malaysia”, V3D Asia giat memacu usaha penyetempatan Teknologi Pencetakan Pembinaan 3D menerusi ibu pejabat serantaunya di Kuala Lumpur. Bersama Nuvah, syarikat ini komited untuk membangunkan ekosistem pembinaan tempatan yang kukuh, mengurangkan kebergantungan terhadap sistem import serta meletakkan Malaysia sebagai hab inovasi pembinaan yang bersedia menghadapi masa depan.
“Kerjasama ini merupakan satu pencapaian penting bukan sahaja bagi Kumpulan V3D, malah bagi masa depan industri pembinaan Malaysia secara keseluruhannya. Kewujudan piawaian industri yang jelas adalah penting untuk mempercepatkan penggunaan Teknologi Pencetakan Pembinaan 3D secara selamat, bertanggungjawab dan pada skala yang lebih besar. Apabila piawaian yang jelas dan diyakini diwujudkan, seluruh ekosistem pembinaan akan mendapat manfaat. Pemaju boleh membina dengan lebih yakin, pihak berkuasa mempunyai asas yang jelas untuk proses kelulusan, manakala pembeli pula boleh membuat keputusan dengan keyakinan terhadap apa yang mereka beli,” kata Encik Kazuhiro Ono, Pengerusi Kumpulan V3D.
Kerjasama ini turut menghimpunkan pelbagai pihak berkepentingan utama dalam ekosistem pembinaan dan kawal selia negara, termasuk wakil daripada Lembaga Pembangunan Industri Pembinaan Malaysia (CIDB), sekali gus mencerminkan momentum yang semakin meningkat terhadap penggunaan teknologi pembinaan generasi baharu secara bertanggungjawab di Malaysia.
Sebagai rakan industri utama dalam jawatankuasa penggubalan piawaian tersebut, V3D Asia dan Nuvah akan menyumbang kepakaran dalam sains bahan, pengetahuan kejuruteraan serta pengalaman pelaksanaan sebenar bagi membantu membentuk rangka kerja piawaian yang komprehensif. Usaha ini selaras dengan aspirasi Malaysia untuk memodenkan serta memperkukuh daya tahan sektor pembinaan negara bagi menghadapi cabaran masa depan.
Inisiatif ini hadir pada waktu yang amat signifikan. Kini, industri pembinaan Malaysia masih berdepan pelbagai cabaran berpanjangan termasuk kebergantungan pada tenaga kerja, pembaziran bahan binaan, peningkatan kos serta tempoh pelaksanaan projek yang panjang. Kewujudan rangka kerja yang diiktiraf bagi Pencetakan Konkrit 3D dijangka dapat mempercepatkan penerimaan teknologi ini secara lebih selamat, meningkatkan kecekapan pembinaan, mengurangkan pembaziran serta menyokong aspirasi negara untuk membangunkan bandar yang lebih mampan dan bersedia untuk masa hadapan.
“Pembangunan piawaian industri merupakan langkah penting dalam menyokong penggunaan teknologi baharu dalam sektor pembinaan di Malaysia dapat dilaksanakan secara selamat dan tersusun. Melalui kerjasama dengan V3D Asia dan Nuvah ini, kami berhasrat untuk mewujudkan satu rangka kerja yang berwibawa dan praktikal bagi memperkukuh keyakinan industri, menggalakkan inovasi serta menyokong pertumbuhan mampan Teknologi Pencetakan Konkrit 3D dalam sektor pembinaan Malaysia,” kata Encik Azhar Bin Dollar, Ketua Seksyen Pembangunan Piawaian dan Perundingan, SIRIM Academy.
“Seiring evolusi industri pembinaan Malaysia, CIDB kekal komited untuk bekerjasama dengan perintis industri bagi memastikan teknologi baharu dapat diterima pakai secara selamat, produktif dan bertanggungjawab. Kerjasama seperti ini amat penting dalam membina asas kawal selia ke arah ekosistem pembinaan yang lebih moden dan bersedia untuk masa hadapan,” kata XXX, XXX daripada CIDB.
Berbeza daripada penyedia teknologi pembinaan konvensional, V3D Asia dan Nuvah beroperasi sebagai sebuah ekosistem bersepadu yang meliputi keseluruhan rantaian pembangunan. V3D Asia berperanan sebagai cabang teknologi pembinaan yang memberi tumpuan kepada kejuruteraan pencetakan pembinaan 3D serta keupayaan pembuatan tempatan, manakala Nuvah berfungsi sebagai cabang pembangunan hartanah dan komersial yang menumpukan kepada pembangunan projek kediaman dan komersial generasi baharu. Bersama-sama, kedua-dua entiti ini membentuk rantaian bekalan tempatan yang direka untuk menyokong pertumbuhan jangka panjang industri pencetakan pembinaan 3D di Malaysia.
Selain menerajui pembangunan piawaian industri, Nuvah juga sedang membuat persiapan untuk memperkenalkan pembangunan banglo mewah bercetak 3D pertama di Malaysia yang dijadualkan dilancarkan pada suku keempat tahun ini. Terletak di kawasan eksklusif Country Heights Damansara, projek ultra mewah di lereng bukit tersebut kini menerima pendaftaran Penyataan Minat (Expression of Interest, EOI).
Pembangunan tersebut bakal memperkenalkan konsep seni bina “Quiet Luxury” yang menampilkan bentuk organik dan aliran reka bentuk yang diinspirasikan oleh alam semula jadi. Dengan memanfaatkan fleksibiliti yang ditawarkan oleh Teknologi Pencetakan Pembinaan 3D, projek ini meninggalkan reka bentuk konvensional yang bersegi dan menggantikannya dengan struktur monolit melengkung yang bersifat lebih mengalir dan menyatu secara harmoni dengan topografi sekeliling, sekali gus menawarkan gambaran masa depan kediaman mewah yang lebih mampan.
Kerjasama ini dijangka menjadi pemangkin kepada penggunaan Teknologi Pencetakan Konkrit 3D yang lebih meluas di Malaysia. Dengan adanya piawaian industri yang jelas dan diyakini, inisiatif ini berpotensi meningkatkan keyakinan industri terhadap teknologi dan kaedah pembinaan generasi baharu, serta mempercepatkan transformasi sektor pembinaan ke arah amalan yang lebih maju dan mampan.
