According to the International Energy Agency, emissions from automobiles accounted for 48 percent of global transport carbon dioxide emissions in 2022. NEVs are a major step forward in the aim to get to a zero-carbon transport sector. It predicted that the global demand for NEVs will be four-fold from 2022 to 2030, surging to 45 million units. In China, the NEV adoption rate has reached 31.6 percent in 2023, meaning one out of every three cars sold in China was a NEV, and it is predicted to surpass 50 percent by 2030. In 2021, the Hong Kong SAR Government (HK-Gov) announced the Hong Kong Roadmap on Popularisation of NEVs, setting the target for the number of public and private parking spaces with charging infrastructure to reach about 200,000 by 2027 and to cease new registration of fuel-propelled and hybrid private cars by 2035 or earlier. As at the end of December 2023, HK-Gov announced that there are 7,415 NEV chargers in Hong Kong for public use, with a ratio of 1:10 for NEV chargers to NEV cars. This demonstrates a significant market demand and growth opportunity to increase the installation and rolling out of new NEV chargers in order expedite significant lowering the NEV chargers to NEV cars ratio.
This collaboration between XECO and CS-PRO marks an exciting milestone and represents a major leap forward in pioneering the financing model and investment plan for NEV charger projects through blockchain technology in the NEV industry. Targeting professional investors, each participant of G-STO has real-time visibility into the product/service utilization and estimated return based on business performance of the NEV charging project. By utilizing cutting-edge blockchain technology on Ethereum, G-STO lowers financial barriers in the private equity market and empowers a larger audience to engage in the NEV revolution.
G-STO prioritizes investor protection with a combination of traditional measures like KYC/AML compliance, business governance, risk assessment, and yearly financial audits. Together with smart contract automation and data transparency on blockchain, it offers investors unprecedented visibility into the product/service utilization, business performance and expected dividends from their investment. This groundbreaking G-STO is poised to revolutionize the landscape of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing, and to pave the way for a cleaner, more resilient future while at the same time introducing a transparent, secure, and replicative investment model that allows investors to reap financial returns from NEV business while fostering a sustainable planet.
"China aims to peak carbon dioxide emissions in 2030 and then achieve carbon neutrality in 2060. Developing the NEV industry is an important part of the national plan," said Stephen Law, JP, vice chairman of Coinstreet group and member of the National Committer of CPPCC. Stephen also added, "Hong Kong is an international financial centre.
