Located outside of HSBC's main building in Hong Kong, HSBC and Grey Group installed [solar panels on the roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-mail-solar-postboxes) of the shelter to power more than 60 light bulbs in the shelter throughout the night. Through the use of solar power, HSCB is embracing a global shift to more [sustainable energy sources](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-energy-solutions) to power a greener economy. In support of China's Belt-And-Road Initiative, HSBC's move to develop the solar tram shelter makes for a significant partner in the shift towards a more sustainable economy. To garner the support of a company with such a strong global prowess as HSBC is meaningful and will hopefully lead to other global change-makers following suit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/transportation) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainable Energy:** Exploring alternative energy sources like solar power for various applications. - **Green Economy:** Adopting environmentally friendly practices to drive economic growth. - **Global Sustainability Initiatives:** Participating in worldwide efforts to promote sustainable development. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Renewable Energy:** Companies specializing in solar power generation and other renewable energy technologies. - **Urban Infrastructure:** Developers and manufacturers of sustainable infrastructure solutions for cities. - **Finance and Banking:** Institutions offering financial services and investment opportunities for sustainable projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rejuvenated Former Bank Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/former-bank-building.md) - [Grid-Connected Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-electric-pavilion.md) - [Cooling Bus Shelter Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooling-bus-shelter.md) - [Urban Solar Charging Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perovia.md) - [Recycled-Steel Bus Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-bus-station.md) - [Secure Card Recycling Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/card-recycling-system.md) - [Digital Banking Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hsbc-1.md) - [Sustainable Solar-Powered Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakham-sun-city.md) - [Electric Public Transportation Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/higer-new-v.md)
