HONG KONG, Jan. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- i2Cool, a trailblazer in passive radiative cooling technology, has successfully applied its green and energy-efficient paint to the rooftop and side walls of the Hong Kong Coliseum. Supported by the Environment and Ecology Bureau and Architectural Services Department of Hong Kong, i2Cool strengthens the Coliseum's green event management efforts, contributing to Hong Kong's 2050 carbon neutrality goals and showcasing its commitment to promoting eco-friendly practices globally.
The Hong Kong Coliseum, a landmark of Asia's entertainment landscape and a key venue for the 2025 National Games of China, has applied i2Cool's cooling paint across 9,700 square meters for sustainable operations. This application is expected to lower surface temperatures by an average of 24°C in summer, enhancing indoor comfort and saving approximately 300,000 kWh of electricity annually—equivalent to reducing 150 tons of carbon emissions.
Inspired by the Saharan Silver Ant's unique hair structure, i2Cool's R&D team, led by Co-founder Professor Edwin TSO from the School of Energy and Environment at City University of Hong Kong, developed multi-scale nanoparticle materials achieving 95% solar reflectivity and mid-infrared emissivity. The electricity-free cooling paint, iCool's flagship product, reduces air conditioning costs by 10% to 40% and enhances electricity generation by 3% to 8%, ideal for building exteriors and outdoor facilities. It sets a new industry benchmark, surpassing a 90% reflectivity limit. i2Cool's product ecosystem also includes cooling film, ceramic and textile solutions.
"This project showcases how i2Cool's technology can cut air-conditioning demand and transform urban spaces," said Professor Martin ZHU, co-founder and CEO of i2Cool. Mr. Tse Chin-wan, Secretary for Environment and Ecology of Hong Kong, visited the site and highlighted the energy-saving impact of this project.
Building on the success of i2Cool's cooling solutions in enduring the extreme heat of the Middle East at Dubai Mall, the world's largest mall by total area, the Hong Kong Coliseum project marks another milestone in i2Cool's global expansion, paving the way for future applications in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, North America and Europe.

i2Cool Powers Green Event Management at Hong Kong Coliseum with Electricity-free Cooling Technology
PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Energizer Malaysia today introduced Energizer® Ultimate Child Shield™ in Malaysia — the world's ONLY coin lithium batteries that prevent burns if swallowed. Available in sizes 2032, 2025 and 2016, this breakthrough technology reflects Energizer's continued global leadership in advancing child safety through innovation.
Each year, more than 3,500 coin lithium battery ingestion incidents are reported in the U.S. alone — primarily among children ages 0-6 — with incidents rising nine-fold over the past decade as everyday devices such as key fobs, remotes, tracking tags and toys increasingly rely on 20mm coin lithium batteries for power. The risk is universal: a 20mm coin lithium battery is similar in diameter to a child's oesophagus, increasing the possibility of it becoming lodged if swallowed. When this happens, the battery can begin causing serious internal burns in as little as 15 minutes and life-threatening injuries within a few hours. Often, there are no symptoms, or the symptoms that do appear can be easily misdiagnosed, making immediate medical attention critical.
A new layer of protection for families
Developed through years of research, development and investment, Energizer® Ultimate Child Shield™ is the result of Energizer's continued leadership in child safety innovation. This breakthrough technology makes Energizer® Ultimate Child Shield™ the world's only coin lithium batteries that prevent burns if swallowed. By stopping internal burning from ever starting, the innovation offers families a life-changing solution to a growing safety concern.
Offering a superior number of safety features, Energizer® Ultimate Child Shield™ also includes the world's only Colour Alert technology, which dyes the mouth blue when it interacts with saliva. This alerts caregivers that an ingestion may have occurred, enabling them to act fast. Additionally, Energizer® Ultimate Child Shield™ also features a non-toxic bitter coating to deter ingestion and comes in child-resistant packaging.
"With 20mm coin lithium batteries powering more of our devices, it is crucial we remove the danger of ingestion burns if one of those batteries is swallowed by a child — and Energizer® Ultimate Child Shield™ does exactly that. With its launch in Malaysia, we are bringing families a revolutionary technology that eliminates the risk of ingestion burns," said Aaron Ang, Senior Manager of Global Marketing Activation, Energizer Holdings, Inc.
Availability
Energizer Malaysia will showcase the new range at selected baby expos later this year, including TCE Baby Expo at MITEC from 2 to 4 October 2026 and TCE Baby Expo at Mid Valley from 3 to 6 December 2026, supported by trade activations across selected channels. Energizer® Ultimate Child Shield™ coin lithium batteries are available in Malaysia in sizes 2032, 2025 and 2016 at selected retailers.
