MGM has achieved a new green milestone, with MGM Macau becoming the first hotel on the Macau Peninsula to fully convert to natural gas.
Such a changeover also makes MGM the first integrated resort operator to adopt clean and low-carbon natural gas across all its properties, achieving great strides in the green energy operation.
Kenneth Feng, President and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited said, “MGM Macau has become the first hotel on the Macau Peninsula to switch to natural gas usage, enabling us to further reduce carbon emission and head towards a safer and more efficient operation. Through using and promoting clean energy, MGM would like to set a green example within the industry, to drive solid contributions to the green transformation of Macau’s energy structure.”
The MGM Macau’s changeover into natural gas is expected to result in an annual reduction of over 550 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, which is equal to planting approximately 24,000 trees. Apart from adopting green energy, MGM will continue to explore the feasibility of utilizing other renewable energy sources like solar energy as well as fully switching to electric shuttle buses, moving towards a greener development in the long run.
