Singapore Floating Solar is the world’s largest solar farm, spanning the size of 45 football fields and producing 60 megawatts worth of power and reducing 32 kilotonnes of carbon emissions annually. It costs 11 million dollars and the oyster farmers in Hong Kong could use this as inspiration to add to their business on top of oyster farming, as it helps produce cleaner energy as well as adds to their income.
新加坡浮動式太陽能發電廠是世界上最大規模的太陽能發電廠,有45個足球場那麼大,能生產出相等於60 兆瓦的電力,每一年能減少32千頓的碳排放。這設備耗資11百萬,香港蠔民能夠以此為啟發在養殖蠔的基礎上增加業務,在增加收入的同時也能產出更加潔淨的能源。
Another area that oyster farmers could potentially look at is hydrogen production. Hydrogen can be used as an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels. On average, 1 litre of water can produce around 622-1235 litres of hydrogen through electrolysis. 1kg (11000L) of Hydrogen can sell for $16.51, so with the abundance of water nearby, oyster farmers can easily use it to their advantage and make extra money through hydrogen while also producing a clean fuel.
另一個對蠔民而言也是個可行的方法,便是氫的生產。氫氣可作為化石燃料的替代品,氫能更是比化石燃料而言無害於環境。平均來說,1公升的水通過電解法能產出大概622至1235公升的氫。1公斤(11000公升)的氫能以$16.51的價錢賣出。以此類推,養蠔的地方附近有大量的水源,所以蠔民能輕易利用生產氫,通過售賣氫以賺取額外的金錢。與此同時,也能生產出潔淨的能源。
