The Sarawak government, led by Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, is determined to significantly reduce the energy costs associated with hydrogen production in the region. Through strategic partnerships with Siemens Energy and innovative membrane technology, Sarawak aims to lower the energy consumption from 30 kWh/kg to an impressive 10 kWh/kg. This ambitious target aligns with the state's commitment to enhancing energy efficiency and promoting cost-effectiveness in hydrogen production. Collaborative research efforts with industry giants like Petronas and a Japanese company have already proven successful, cutting the energy consumption for hydrogen production by half. These advancements not only contribute to environmental, social, and governance standards but also showcase Sarawak's dedication to clean energy development. Premier Abang Johari emphasized the importance of clean energy in creating a sustainable and environmentally friendly world, positioning Sarawak and Malaysia as key players in the global shift towards green technologies. The state's participation in the ASEAN Women Economic Summit further highlights its commitment to sustainability and innovation in the energy sector, with a focus on clean hydrogen production.
