On Wednesday's Backchat, we found out more about the potential to develop hydrogen energy in Hong Kong.
That's after Towngas recently established a partnership with Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks to develop the city's first electric vehicle charging system using purely hydrogen.
The system in Science Park is expected to start operating in the second quarter of next year. We talked to representatives from both Towngas and the Science Park to learn more about the project, and whether hydrogen is indeed a viable energy source in the SAR.
After the break, we switched gears and looked at rising tuition charges for master's programmes at local universities. Fees have increased quite substantially in recent years, raising concerns about affordability for local students.
